I have been using this tire for a season in the Texas hill country - a lot of loose over dry hardpack and sharp rocks. I've ridden about 20 times on this tire and it is already showing lots of wear. Tire rolls fast and is quiet and comfortable, but does not hold very well cornering or climbing over loose rock. Also easily punctured and is not recommended for use with Stans. Overall not a bad tire, but I will not run it again.
