Got a pair from Niagara Cycle in January. They were easy to put on. I took advantage of the change to swap my OEM Schrader inner tubes for Presta tubes, which I prefer. So far only 2 rides, on good pavement (not city commute) and some short stretches of dirt. I like the higher pressure they run at, compared to the 55 psi max OEM tires (my Brommie is 1996 vintage).

I have Primos. I think they are the best tyre for me - durability, low rolling resistance, no tread. I started with Kojaks, then Scorchers.
The only bad point for me is they are a bit hard to get hold of here. I can get them from Greenspeed but they are expensive.
