Here in Northern Virginia the road debris is terrible, and I shredded my Vittoria's quickly on normal road rides. Got the Telegraph Duro and it was an easy install (warm the tire in the sun, etc) that went on ok with only a tire lever needed at the end. Normal floor pump seated the bead, and Silca sealant finished. Have put maybe 400 miles on these in the early spring rides - including a number of harsh gravel and pitted dirt roads; no complaints. The price was good and the only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that they don't roll as quickly as some others - - but the durability wins it for me. Will buy again.

After shredding turbo cottons and almost instantly getting a slash in the gravel kings SSs I tried next I was apprehensive to spend more cash on light and supple tires
Well after a few rides it�s safe to say these are some great tires so far I'd say they ride better than the SSs and are faster than them the ride adds so needed compliance to my road bikes ride as well.
I run these on zipp 303s and I ride them on rail trails and road and some dirt road haven't had single issue setup tubeless with Stans sealant running 50psi
