Great Commuter Tire

On: 2007-07-14

I use my Giant mountain bike to commute to work. I wanted a tire that worked better for this trip (as most of the 21mile round-trip is on blacktop trails/roads). This tire works very well for this. Rolling resistance is less and so is noise. I also ride about 1/2 mile on a gravel road and Ive not experienced any flats...yet. There is one part of my commute where I have to ride up a short embankment (fairly steep) and the tire breaks loose if the dirt is moist/wet, but thats to be expected with such a slick center. If I had to do it over again, Id order these same tires.
