FWIW- I recently got a pretty good deal and threw a pair of these on my bike. With probably less that 200 miles, the tires became mis-shaped with various bulges and in some areas looking somewhat S shaped. I also got a blow out where the tire wore through in one area.
One of the guys at my LBS was surprised to see this and commented that he generally likes Hutchinsons. I don't know if this model is bad, if it was a bad batch or perhaps is a case of terrible consistency or quality control. For the the brief period that they worked, they rode pretty nicely and were light, but based on this experience, I could not recommend that anyone get these tires.
