Weaknesses: I have had two split where the hooked retainer (mavic) butts against the sidewall. I keep them up to pressure. Were replaced by distributor, but cost me a taxi ride home each time.
Overall: This fault has been flagged in CTC mag so its not just me.
Strengths: Low rolling resistance couple with good puncture resistance - only one puncture in a 2100 mile tour round SE Asia. Can handle offroad stuff too.
Weaknesses: Tread wore badly on back tyre - swapping tyres round at regular intervals is recommended to make the tyres last longer as a pair.
Overall: Good tyres if you want to travel light and fast with minimum fuss.
Strengths: Puncture resistant, rolls well, excellent in all conditions.
Weaknesses: None I can think of.
Overall: Just finished two weeks cycling across France on these tyres - not a single puncture! Excellent grip in all conditions too. Highly recommended. (Oh, and very reasonably priced if you buy from the right place online...)
