    'FAST & LIGHT, BUT ONLY OK FOR PUNCTURE PROTECTION'
    Strengths:
    Good grip, reasonably lightweight, fast roll, great value (£11.75 each)
    Weaknesses:
    Poor puncture protection
    Overall:
    Great value tyre, but only rate as OK for commuting. I switched from Schwalbe Marathon Plus which weighed a ton, but never punctured !!
