well, so far I really like them otherwise I would sell you my used rubbers.

Their traction and cornering feel great. They are single ply so they wont have the sidewall protection of a hard core dual-ply tire but they sure as hell feel robust nonetheless. They are possibly a tad on the slow rolling side but not very noticeable to me to be honest. They are excellent size and hook up great so far. The only other approximate 850 gram tier i would consider is the Schwalbe Big Betty which is supposed to have more robust sidewalls and roll faster.
