Intensive 2 700x25 Flex Bead Road Bike Tyre / ETRTO 25-622

I've done about 1000km on these tires, fitted to my winter bike, including Strada Bianchi and the feared climb of the Alpe Rossombolmo. I weighed the tires as 215g, which is pretty good for a 25mm training tire. They are a narrow 24mm on my Open Pro rims. Don't over-inflate them. For my 80kg, 95lbs is fine. By accident I pumped them to 120lbs on one ride and they were very uncomfortable. You will also loose grip if they are overinflated, esp. in the wet. The tires are very robust, I've used them on trails and they resist well. I'm surprised at how well they roll. As fast as my old 23mm Hutchinsons but more comfortable. I live in the S. of France so mostly ride in the dry so cannot comment too much on the wet performance. They seemed ok on the little I've ridden them in the damp but I usually dial it back a bit when the conditions get sketchy.

Hmm, these tyres are quite frankly terrible. After two offs in 5 weeks I chucked them in the bin and bought something decent. If you only ever cycle in the dry and in the summer you may find these ok, but if you venture out in the wet and cold (i.e. late autumn through to early spring) then you'll have the problem as me. They simply have no grip at all in those conditions. Considering they are marketed as an all season tyre this is bizarre. If you search for reviews online you'll find that one magazine summed these up as the worst winter tyres they'd ever tested. Enough said.
