The tire seems well made. This awesome tire is no different. This tire really fits well. Overall a great tire.

Highlights
Quality
I like the quality of these and i like the look of them too
Only the maximum is printed on the tire the recommendation is on the paper tag that comes with the tire

May want to spend timemoney on different set up for the price asked for these tires

These are a little heavier than my road tires but not by much

They will have a little more rolling resistance so probably not the best choice if youre doing a group road ride

Most tires ive had do appear to match their rated width so not sure why this one should be off by 2mm
