I had a couple of thousand miles on them they were going strong and I gave them away, and they still are going strong.

The ones I had were very bumpy, there were the old ones that had Kevlar bead to bead. I just wanted something more comfortable. Great tires IMO. !! Must be one of the strongest road tires. I finally have kevlar belted tires on almost all my bikes, but none are as resistant to flats as the Armadillo's were. Which ones do you have?
