Never had a flat. Only retired them when the kevlar meshing finally separated entirely from the rest of the shell casing.

They were squared and cut up so badly that when unmounted, the contact surface of the tire looked like freddy krueger's face when the sidewalls were squeezed together.


Broke even when I had a new gatorskin die to a sidewall ala achille's heel rip just 1 and a half weeks in.
