Comments: I love these tires. They're a bit heavy because they're huge. Relative to their size, they're quite light I think. They roll great, have nice ride feel, have fantastic grip even in wet conditions, and the flat protection seems to be very good. I use these tires almost exclusively in the rain (because that's the purpose of the bike they're on) and have only had one flat tire in 1500 miles. That one flat was from a 1 inch screw that got completely embedded in the tire, and even then I was able to ride about a mile to where my car was parked before losing pressure. Also, after 1500 miles the tires (front and rear) are showing virtually no sign of wear.
