You sound somewhat confrontational, almost like you want to challenge me.
Well, that's OK, as I really would like to open people's eyes to these tires.
1 ) "Like how long are your rides? " I'm not trying to be facetious here but how long is the road? The length of my ride is usually determined by where I need to go, what the weather is like. I typically ride by myself.
2 ) "How many miles have you put on them, how well do they wear?" Over the years I have used this type of tire on at least 6 different bikes and have never had a tire 'wear out'. One bike in particular has well over 6,000 miles, according to its odometer.
3 ) "How hard to get on and off the rim?" For me, or for you? :-) Seriously, you will get the first tire on more quickly if someone, who has done it before, gives you some pointers. After that you should have no problem.
4 ) "Limitations you have found?" Well, if I were going to ride 'The Tour', I'd use pneumatics but, to just be able to go anywhere, at any time, airfrees would be my first choice.
Hope this helps.
