Got these tires installed on my bike and seems like a quality tire. I ride mostly hardpack and streets which this tread patern will do great with.
If your a canal path/ urban/ street rider, I would recomend these tires.

Have only used for park and street, not dirt jump. Awesome traction and no rolling resistance If you are looking for something to tighten up the feel of your bike....this is the tire!

I'm not nearly a pro with mtb, I bought one a few months ago after not riding since I was a kid. I did a lot of research to choose replacement parts for it that that were better than average. I landed on these tires since they seem to be unanimously praised. I've had them for a few weeks, and only put 200 miles or so on them before I got a flat. I understand that no rubber is going to be indestructible, but I am riding on pristinely paved streets and very short rides. I pulled a very small chunk of glass from the tire, and am now waiting on a patch kit and new innertubes. I just feel like for springing for a high quality tire, I'm really disappointed that I'm already having trouble with it. It's a shame, because they ride beautifully otherwise.
