The title pretty much says it all. These tires may be good for a TT and thats about it. They aren't even the TT version though. I tried these after wearing through some continental 5000 TLs. They actually feel faster and I prefer the handling but on my 2nd ride I had picked up a puncture in the front. It was small enough that I didn't notice it while riding but saw a little sealant bubbling out after. Since then I've noticed the same thing two or three times on the rear tire until I finally got a puncture on the rear tire that was too big for the sealant. After two weeks with them, this is unacceptable. The also seem to run skinny. If you do decide to try them out, I'd recommend getting a size bigger than normal. The 25s looked more like 23s. They were probably the easiest tubeless tire I've ever mounted though. The bead slipped right over the wheel and I was able to mount them with just a regular pump. I didn't have to break out the compressor or use CO2. They do leak a little more air overnight than any other tubeless I've tried but nothing too substantial. I'll be ditching these for something else
