I'm pleased with this tire. Worth every penny.

Southern New Mexico is goat-head hell for bicyclers. It was about time someone came with such a clever product. Ive seen other tubeless tires around that require their own special rim. Not this one, it fits your regular rim. The concept is so simple I wonder how come nobody else came with this idea before.

In no particular order, these are my impressions:

1. The tires are a bit heavy compared to other regular tires. However, considering that I always installed Mr. Tuffy liners and extra thick tubes that added extra weight, this tires comes lighter in the long run.

2. The real test comes when you take them for a spin. The tires behave no different than regular tires.

3. Now, my shopping experience is another story. I made the mistake of choosing the "1-click check out" here at Amazon. Turns out that this option didnt take it as a ONE order of two tires qualifying for free shipping. Instead, it was taken as TWO orders of one tire each, no free shipping. Each tire arrived in a HUGE box filled with foam beans that filled my trash bin. See, I avoid plastic shopping bags at my grocery store and I use my bike for my errands and daily commute. You can imagine my guilt knowing that I killed a tree just to have my tires shipped.
