Before switching to these, I was constantly dealing with flats on my bike rides through Seattle's pothole-ridden streets—it was a real pain and cost me time and money. After putting these on, the difference is night and day. I've been using them for over six months now, and they've made my urban cycling so much more enjoyable. No more worrying about every piece of glass or metal on the road; it's like my bike gained an extra layer of armor. They're built to last, and I appreciate that as a rational buyer who values long-term investments. While not flawless, the improvement is substantial, and I'd recommend them to any city cyclist looking for reliability without breaking the bank. A solid choice for sure!
- Pros: The puncture resistance is quite impressive—it feels like a solid shield against all the debris on city streets. Durability is top-notch; these things have held up better than anything I've tried before, making my daily commute much more reliable. A nice bonus is how smooth the ride is, almost gliding over rough patches without a hitch.
- Cons: From what I feel, it's not perfect; I've had a couple of minor issues with punctures in extreme cases, so it's not completely invincible. Also, they can be a bit heavier than some other options, which might affect speed a bit for those who are picky about weight.
