Comments: The biggest concern I have about this tire is its tread life. After 1500 miles, the rear tire has gotten quite smooth (it started out with micro-bumps). The flat protection has been decent, but most of the miles have come on dry days. The one flat I got was on a rainy day. These tires have a suprisingly nice ride feel, in light of their cost.
