I was given a Giant Allegre as a gift, it needed some new equipment tires being on that list. I live in NYC and these roads out here are tough to say the least. They have performed well and have great traction even in the rain. Great tire especially for the price.
This has been great for the price. Got it for the color and price. They have carried my 185 well over 1000 miles, wearing well and with out a flat. I've rode on everything with at least 100 miles on gravel. I have not pushed the traction issue. Does fine wet or dry. It's been a great trainingtouring tire.
OK, so I realize 70 miles does not a proper review of a tire make... But I first bought these because my Krylions had a couple cuts in them and these were the only tires I could afford. So I took a look at these and the Vittoria Pros and realized they look like the same tire but with a wire bead. So for training purposes you're getting a top notch tire for tiny prices. More comfortable on the road than Conti sports, Michiline Lithion and Krylion. They hold to the road well. I think these are the best tires (out of a wopping 4) that I've used, and the cheapest. A little heavier than folding tires but does that really matter for training?
