I recently purchased these in size 45 and have about 200 miles on them. I ride about 50/50 pavement and dirt roads and I wanted to try a semi slick tire that would hopefully feel faster than my 40mm Pathfinders.
I'm about 145 lbs and have been running them at 24 front and 25 rear. They have surprisingly good grip and seem to roll decently. They are quite comfy and make road chatter and small gravel/stones disappear under them. By their appearance I wasn't expecting much in the way of cornering performance but they perform better than they look. I'm still hesitant to lean on them real hard, but they corner pretty good.
I would not ride them if it's wet. Did some tame single track and double track gnar and they held their own. The key with these is to run the lowest pressure you can without hitting your rim. At higher pressures, they feel bouncy and rigid. Lower pressure helps the casing come alive and absorb chunk nicely. Can't comment on longevity yet, hence 4 stars.
Rode these tires tubeless with Orange Endurance sealant across the USA this summer, about 4000 miles, and didn't get a single flat tire! And the tires still have some tread in the center. I should be able to go another 1000 miles without any flats. Two friends of mine had the same tires on the cross country trip and they had no flats either! Amazing!
I somehow get a lot of flat tires. This is my second pair of this tire. First pair started wearing out after thousands of miles on all types of roads and light gravel. I hope to have the same with my new pair.
