Cons: |
Hugh Chunk of the rear tire (about a 4x6 piece) came out of my tire while riding. The tire didn't blow, thank goodness. Has this happened to anyone else? |

Pros: |
Long lasting tire! For commuting, they are great. Decent wet weather traction as well. |
| |
|
Cons: |
Be careful of the tire on max lean angle. If you are riding a lighter bike, the tire might break free. |

| Pros: |
Tire seems to be lasting forever. extra stable when riding with a loaded bike. |
| |
|
Cons: |
It is like driving on a dirt track when you try to power threw a corner. They seem fine when coasting put any aggressive riding and traction in the corners is not great. i know that this could be some due to the weight of my bike. I won't buy another pair. |
