'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.

'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.
