(More customer reviews)Great tire for those who use their mountain bikes on the roads and want to ride fast. VERY difficult to mount, broke a few levers and pinched a couple of tubes trying to mount them (I'll admit I'm not the best at this sort of thing but I'm no wimp either), and had given up on using them (I could see myself fighting to take the tire off the rim and then getting stranded with a couple of pinched tubes and broken levers, Murphy's Law, you know...), read in some bike magazine that if you put the tires in the drier for a minute it makes the tires easier to mount (I had to do this a little longer, first minute was too little for my tires), and this was the case (BUT, do at your own risk, I've been riding the tires for a few hundred miles and it's been fine). Other than this, very fast tire, I'm able to ride with roadies, although I suspect that the rolling resistance is a tad higher than a top road clincher. Be careful on wet downhills, I felt my tires skid a bit (slick and hard, with rain, you can guess how that's going to feel).
