Mad_DucksGreat tires so far ... I am training for a ride in Tahoe this June and was looking for a good tire that would hold up. Put them on this past weekend and rode 60 miles. Seem to handle well at high speeds (43mph was my top) and had no problems holding the curves. I was not familiar with the tires when I bought them (new to road biking) but after reading the reviews and seeing the great price TFB had I thought I would give them a try. Come to find out 3 of my teammates were riding with them and all love the tires.
They are a very tight fit and you have to be careful not to pinch your tube, I found out the hard way that I did. Takes some time and patience to get them on but so far well worth all the effort.

A GuestTough dependable tire, Have always used these for a training tire, the past 10 years. Never had a puncture flat. Easily get 10k miles out of a pair as long as you rotate them every 2500 miles. Just put on a new pair. Good for 2 more seasons of training 10k miles.

pmartin462I have only ridden about 400 miles so I cannot discuss the durability of these tires. But so far very happy. I rode 2 years, 5,500 miles on Armadillos. Only two flats. But, I wanted lighter tires. I am very happy with my decision. On my first ride, it felt like I was riding a new bike. Very smooth and fast, I am much more confident taking sharp turns. And, I am riding much faster. I do not attribute all of my increased speed to the tires, but I am sure that they are playing some role in it. My only hope is that these tires are as durable as the Armadillos. I have hit several bad pot holes, and no flats.
I generally ride for exercise purposes only 100 plus miles a week. But, I do enjoy pushing myself and going fast as possible.

A GuestAppears to be a great tire. At the recommendation of a friend, I put a new set on before a week of riding in Oregon. They were everything that I hoped for. Rolled well, felt fine over a long section of "chip seal" and cornered well on decents. Had them up to 48 mph through some pretty good corners and they felt rock solid.

mrwillowsGreat training tire. Get the folding style for easier changes, although you will get a lot less puncture with these.

TrackieYou cant go wrong with them, They grip much better than I would have thought (Dry and wet). No flats and this is my 3rd pair! This is my main tire because it does everything very well.

A GuestGood pricematch deal on these. I haven't put a ton of miles on them yet, but so far so good. Good grip, cornering; smooth rolling.

buc63First off, you can't beat the instant price match...TFB has won a customer here. Second, first 25's i've tried and the ride quality is way better on the chip seal wich we have alot of around here. have put about 300 miles of training plus one century ride on them and I cant find a cut on em! the tires I have been using were always cut...super glueing all the time! so far these are great! Do heed the warnings about the wet though...but if you're not railin corners in the rain then you will be just fine...great tires! Oh and they went on right out of the box with my thumbs, so , I dont get the whole hard to put on thing.

joshuaschilzI have been very happy with these tires. I bought a set for myself and my wife. As a heavy rider (300lbs) I have been running these at about 110psi and I have not had a blowout or puncture. Living in S.E. Michigan, our roads are crap, I have not found a cut or anything wrong with them after about 300 miles for the season. The 25c width does roll faster than a 23 and gives a great ride performance. Once the tires "break in" they grip something fierce.
Get Some!
