I'm a 365 bicycle commuter in Chicago. My new Trek FX3 needed snow tires. I have been very happy with these. Secure traction and the narrowness of the tires actually helps them cut through slush and snow better than a wider tire. And bonus, I have yet to pick out any glass from them. My only recommendation is fill them at least to 80 pounds. Definitely improves the ride.

We use these tires in Denver on both concrete and gravel trails. They transition nicely from one surface to the other. I don't notice any difference in comfort when on the concrete and feel much more stable when I'm on the gravel. Good Tires. Will definitely look at them again when these need replaced.

Don't buy these tires they are impossible, yes impossible to mount.
Have Reynolds Shadow wheels. Not even close to fitting this wheel
Tried another VITTORIA model and the exact same thing.
Struggled for 2 hours. If for some reason you do manage to get them on how would you ever change a flat?
Went out and bought pair of Bontragers from LBS and GOT them on in less then 2 minutes.

I've run this tire in both the 32 and the 34mm sizes. At 205lb the 32mm size was a bit small and I had to run the pressure slightly high. This tire is on a Ridley X-Fire that sees a lot of trail use. It replaced a set of Stan's Ravens. the Cross Pro rides very nice.
It's decently fast on hardpack, sticks in the grass sections well enough and has never been overly squirrley in deep sand or what little mud we saw this year in Southern California. Though I hit every puddle or water crossing I see. Even in some of the mud holes caused by the ranger's trucks it holds steady, never washed when starting to roll up the side of rut. No surprises. That's not to say it doesn't lose traction at times, it is just very controllable. It flicks nicely on hard pack single track and rides very smooth, even at 45-50 psi, unlike the kenda slant 6's on my 'cross single speed GT-ZRX which squirm all over the place for me if i don't run them at 60-65 psi. This is a nice tire for all around trail ridingReview by Anonymous
I purchased a set of these tires for a tubeless application on Stans rims with Stans rim strips. The tire says 34mm width, however it barely measures 33mm at 35PSI. I would consider it a 32mm width based on the volume of the tire. I thought too that a 150TPI tire would have a soft sidewall making it good for tubeless but the sidewall is not as soft as other 120TPI tires I have used and it made the tire unpredictable on hard cornering. It is also heavier (400grams) than many other larger tires (PDX). This is a classic tire tread pattern that really shines at low pressure but I was unable to run the tire as low as needed because it had a tendency to roll over. The Clement PDX has been a great replacement with no complaints.

Much narrower than manufacturer lists them as. Haven't ridden them too much but have enjoyed the rides on them. Good tread pattern.

Tons of grip and great for dry conditions. I had read that these would work well in a tubeless setup which i tried but it didn't work out for me. Still a great clincher and training tire.
