    'BOMB PROOF'
    Strengths:
    They just don't get punctures.
    Weaknesses:
    A bit hard riding, not the fastest, a right bugger to get on and off the wheel but you'll only ever have to do this once in the tyres life.
    Overall:
    Only got a puncture when I had worn them down to the Canvas.

    'LONG LASTING.PUNCTURE FREE'
    Strengths:
    Great in the winter,nothing gets through them.3rd set including off-road forays,zero punctures.Very long lasting.
    Weaknesses:
    For what they are sold as,none.Hard ride if pumped to the max.
    Overall:
    Bought these for my mountain bike as well for road riding.If you want a tyre for puncture resistance that performs,look no further.

    Overall:
    If you hate punctures and don't care about speed, buy these. Good price too.

    'THE ANSWER TO CITY COMMUTING'
    Strengths:
    No punctures, even taking those iffy short cuts that are strewn with broken glass.
    Weaknesses:
    No grip in the snow because of the slick styling.
    Overall:
    Keep them pumped up hard to maintain low rolling resistance.
    Walk in the snow and ice.
