Great high mileage tire for all around conditions on the road.
By Reston clubber  from northern virginia  - Cycling Enthusiast

A good performing tire for all around road riding. Not the fastest tire out there, but if you're not a racer and do a lot of mileage, I can't think of anything better. Sure footed in the wet and not easy to flat, which saves a lot of hassle. I ran hardshells for a while, but they are decidedly slower and less nimble and I'm not sure they're really tougher. Consider running 25's if you are a big guy, as the rolling resistance is actually better and the weight difference small.

Good performance, cracks with age
By biikefuenist  from New Hampshire, USA  - Cycling Enthusiast

I bought three of these tires for commuting. They've all performed decently as far as riding, etc, but their main drawback is that they have cracked with age.

I wasn't storing these in the sun or anything, nice cool dark garages and basements. The cracking started early on the sidewalls, and now it's spread across the whole rolling surface. This is the kind of cracking I'd would expect to see on a tire that was three times older or had been kept in the sun for a long time. I ride a lot, so on the first two I wore out the tread out before the cracking became severe, but on this last one I'm going to take it off once I get a replacement.

Also, not an issue for most people, but this is not a good tire if you use a sidewall dynamo. The sidewall texture doesn't really provide enough friction for reliable dynamo use, especially in any rain.

Lively feel and great durability - Highly recommended
By Dan Lowe  from Sedalia, Missouri  - Cycling Enthusiast

Likes: Fast, light, strong, excellent cornering, excellent traction in all weather conditions, supple road feel and smooth riding at any pressure from 80 psi on up, durable, you can't hardly find thorns strong enough to flat this tire. Worry-rocks are about the only threat.

Dislikes: About average as far as ease of mounting, but not difficult with the right thumb pressure. Be sure you don't pinch the tube between the tire and the rim when mounting, visually inspect all the way around the rim both sides to make sure your tube is inside the casing before putting the air to it.
