They don't feel as good as the gatorskins I was riding in the states, but I do more skidding over here due to traffic and these seem to be more durable. Plus the rubber + the road surface produces a cool squeal when I skid.

With gatorskins, I would go through one every 3 months or so with hardly any skidding. Just commuting would flatten out the tread. The felt really good and had descent puncture protection. And I got them for $16 each.
