Ive got about 1500 miles on mine so far. I received what I believe to be one of the earlier batches.

Theu were fairly difficult to put on at first, required levers. They were easy to seat with a normal floor pump.

from a tread standpoint they’re lasting much longer than many of my previous tires which is certainly a good thing. I don’t know that I can feel a discernible difference in Ride quality or speed, but the durability is definitely a plus.

my only challenge is that both tires would shed cords off like crazy. both sides, both tires. I was constantly clipping them off and it was starting to worry me from a safety standpoint. Finally though, that problem seem to have subsided. My hope is that this was a minor quality issue in earlier batches and that others haven’t had the same challenge, but truthfully I’m probably put off enough that I’ll try a different tire when time comes.
