I'v been using them for the last 2 seasons on my Falcon. They have great traction wet or dry. I get about 3000 km on the rear wheel before replacing it. They can go further but at this price, I replace them before I start getting a bunch of flats. BTW: I have had no flats on the UltraSports since switching to them from my previous tires, Specialized All Conditions
Shipping to the US is $19 CDN but at this price, it may be worth it if you buy 2+.

+1 for the Conti Ultra Sport!!
No need to look in Canada, you can get 'em for $13 US from Nashbar, plus discounts:

My girlfriend has used a pair of Ultra Sports for about 1 year of 12-mile-round-trip commuting on the DC streets before getting a single flat! They look good too, and the 27x1-1/4" tires are about 30 mm in actual width.
