Review: Good traction, very few flats. - I'm going into my 3rd winter season with this tire now. I can't recommend it enough. I ride throughout the winter, often in some of the worst weather conditions. I used to take a lot more falls on my bike before I had these tires. I've hit some slippery patches, but I don't think I've actually fallen off my bike at all since I started using these tires. As far as flats go: I've had these tires on my bike for more than 2 years now (which is a pretty dang long time for a single set of tires), and I've gotten 2 flats. One was from glass. I could tell when I changed it that the piece of glass had taken a while to work its way through. I also found a lot of other pieces of glass in the rubber that never made it through the liner (spent some time picking them all out with tweezers, just in case). The second time was a nice sized staple in the road. You can have all the liners you want, but something like that is definitely getting through if you hit it at the wrong angle. I fixed it both times, and the tire has gone strong since then. Other tires I had in the past would get flats all the time. I even tried adding a liner between the tire and the tube in an older set of tires. Glass still got through, and it just made the tires heavy. These are pretty lightweight. They won't protect you against every flat (if you start riding over nails, they're gonna make it through), but it can protect better than most. So, in summary, I've gotten very good traction with these tires in slippery conditions (still gotta watch out for that black ice, but I've been surviving so far!), and have had pretty good protection against flats. After more than 2 years, they're starting to show some wear, so I'll probably be buying the same ones again! :-)
Review: Great tires! Worth every penny. - O.k. These tires are great. I use these on my mountain bike that I turned into a commuter. I have them pumped up to 95-100psi and they are by far the best beefy road tires I have had on my mountain bike. I have used these in rain, snow and ice and they have great grip even when pumped up to their max. I have jumped off and rode up curbs with them with no problem. They are really durable. The rolling resistance is as close as I have ever gotten to my road bike tires. I am only about 0.5 to 1 mph slower on my mt. bike commuter with these tires than I am on my road bike with skinny little tires that I can pump up to 160psi. With some of my other mt. bike "slicks" I have had to pick the little glass and rock shards that get stuck in them at least every two weeks. Not with these, I rarely get anything that will penetrate the tread on these. They are pretty hard to get on, and I have pinched some holes in a couple of tubes getting them on, but I get way fewer flats on these things anyways, so just some patience and a little muscle will get the job done (I also found that three tire levers came in handy too).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good tire. Good price!
*by C***N on January 26, 2025*

I use these on my tadpole trike. Easy to change....20".....not sure why others are having issues as I didn't even need a tool to mount them. Getting them off the rim does require some technique.....I did bend a single metal tire lever! But these have good puncture resistance and good rolling resistance. Not as puncture resistant as the marathon plus tires, but not as stiff and they ride well.
