Almost every cyclist in nyc knows to get gatorskins or something similar with kelvar to resist punctures. In new york city, there is so much glass and other debris that chisel away at your tires, making them less puncture resistance.

Mm tires feel like quality and are plush on the road. Your mileage depends on the surface of the road more than anything else. Ridden year round in urban commuting rough roads, small debris, cold weather, loaded bike (+ 240lb rider).

Each tire has two 1mm x1mm x 1mm plugs missing from the tire. We have some pretty * thorns here and these tires were no match for them. Don't buy these. They seem to be a knockoff.

The defect is a serious safety concern and many are not aware of it. I've changed my cycling tire selection and believe a refund or credit is in order.

Some people insist that it's operator error and that people either inflated them too much or too little. Absolutely ridiculous and frustrating.
