As I read over reviews, I find some people talk about the sidewalls on the Armadillo Turbos letting go - in as little as 300 miles - though most reviews are high on them. Another problem is the reviews cover a time period from 2000 to 2003. I suspect there have been changes over that time. But what is really annoying is most reviews don't always specify precise versions. Apparently there is a "turbo A" version and a "turbo lite" version at least but few specify. Then there is the question of tire size. it is possible that someone with a 32c size will have markedly different experiences from those with a 23c.

I had that problem. I had three split along the sidewalls. The split was more than I could jury rig a boot for about 25 cm (10"). So I gave up on them.
