The reviews for the Lithion 2 are very good with very few negatives and think these stems from users who were expecting a full on race tyre but I would like my tyres last longer than 1000 miles... a few negatives also referred to them being slippery on wet / greasy roads but there isn't a tyre out there that isn't.

Weight is the same as the Gatorskin folder and I was laying my bike into the corners pretty hard today and felt like I was on rails... at 115 psi the ride quality was still pretty spectacular.

Will be doing daily training rides on these as I work myself back into shape so will give a more in depth review and comment on any faults I might find.
