That's a pity I guess I have been lucky then. I do know that they work far, far better than the lightweight Kevlar 28mm tires I used before them.

It seems like there is a certain amount of luck in EVERYONE'S tire preference (except for maybe the Marathon Plus, which everyone agrees is heavy and indestructable). I suppose that's why there are so many brands available. As soon as each of us finds something that works, we stick with it.
