A GuestThese tires have constantly been recommended to me. I don't know what took me so long to buy them but I put them on both my commuter and my road bike. So far so great! I would highly recommend to anyone who bikes in Philly or any other place where the roads seem to be paved with glass (thanks for no street cleaning). I also highly recommend tree fort bikes as the items were shipped very quickly and they even price matched automatically! Great site and great product!

bbi...@gm...l.comWhile not exactly the lightest(300gm/25mm) the tire has held up very well. Five or six 50 mile rides on pretty rough roads and the rear tire still has the nubbies on it. Front tire is even better. Feels pretty smooth and absorbs smaller bumps very well. Ride with just under 100psi and the tire feels very firm to touch and on the road yet not squirmy or flexy. Will buy again.

lbauman12Love these tires. Just bought my second pair (ordered from Tree Fort Bikes - arrived promptly and exactly as ordered). I have had 0 puncture flats in over 4000 miles through the first pair of these tires (had one flat due to pressure spike - hit a rock going 30 mph, now ride them at 90 psi and have not had any problems with pressure flats) I commute, ride mountains, gravel, dirt, pavement, and cement and love these tires on all surfaces - very grippy in the elements, but still fast and great for weekend rides.

rgiffordThese tires are just what my tandem needed. Puncture resistant and lower rolling friction than the stock tires.
Tried them out today and the handling was excellent even in the rain.

A GuestI purchased two of these back in March for $33/tire. Liked them so much I came back and bought 6 more at $36 to put on all three of my road bikes. Only one flat to date and tire wear is great. Incredibly smooth ride.

harburuThis tire has low rolling resistance and I've had no punctures from glass in over 1000 miles. The outer rubber is not showing any cuts. 2 punctures from wire however. They are wearing well and I expect will give me a lot of miles. The only traction issue I had was in snow. They handle wet just fine. I use this tire for commuting and touring.

tucksayreThese are great overall tires (2nd set). They are a bit heavy but that's expected for such a durable tire. I can usually get 2-3k miles out of them, depending on road conditions.
They could be better (flats started around 2k, which is the general lifespan for even sportier tires). The rubber does not give a real confident feeling (for some reasong there is a ton of flashing from the molds that isn't removed, this leads to terrible ride characteristics until it wears off).

A Guest700x25s 2500 miles on my current pair riding on less than stellar roads much of the time. I've had no flats and I am still confident in them even though they are finally showing a little tread wear.

A GuestHaven't ridden enough to evaluate wear of puncture resistance. Smooth riding, run at 95 psi. Easy to install. Bead seems better than previous Conti tires (strings unwound on two different sets of tires).

turnerjtbest $/mile tire, good for thousands of trouble-free miles.

A GuestProbably the best tires I've ever had. 2,000 miles since March and no flats. I've even picked up a screw while riding, just picked it out of the tire and kept rolling! These things hardly seem to wear, my most recent set has been on my commuter for a month and some of the excess trim in the tire still hasn't worn away. The cornering on them is great, I've seen some complaints about their weight, but honestly I can't tell.

nomadwndThe only reason I did not mark "5 gears" and/or some of the other options is because I have only been riding the tires for a short time and I have no other experiences with which to compare them.
I have not been on a road bike in quite some time. I've been riding a beach cruiser. I recently bought a used Giant Bowery Mashup. Yea! I'm back on a road bike. I really like how the bike rides with these tires.
