I bought a pair when I first built out my bike. I ordered my Vittorias on line and ups lost them. I needed something for my sat ride, thus I went to Performance for the cheapest tire that I could find. They were quite good. I rode them for about 250 miles. I switched them out when my Rubino Pros arrived and honestly there was no noticeable difference.
I also converted my old 26er mtb to a hybrid and bought the Forte for that as well. They have been outstanding on gravel and street. For the price, they are well worth it.
