Ive been using these for about 500 miles, on and off road. Overall for the price they are terrific
The positives
They stick very well on hardpack and blacktop without too much stiction - a great balance
They hold together well on gravel for such a thin tire
Terrific on snow and ice
Comparatively resistant to pinch flats
Price
Light
The drawbacks
They wear quickly - what do you expect from a sticky tire
not so good in mud
Its important to remember that they are cross tires, not road tires, not commuting tires. Ive commuted all winter in the snow on these and love them for that, Ive ridden a bunch of singletrack and even a few mtb race courses on them and they stick very well in corners. But remember your contact patch on such a thin tire is limited, so they can skid out on loose surfaces easily if you overload them. They are a sticky tire so even at 80 - 100psi they can hold a corner at terrifying speed on blacktop - but all this requires a compromise and thats quickish wear. If your on the road expect quick wear, mixedoffroadcross they should be good for years.

Stock tires on my cross bike. Light, easy rolling, and get a bite when climbing on dirt. The rear shows wear in the center fairly quickly, but has not flatted and still has the knobs on the sides. Great value tires.

I was using Michelin Mud2 before trying this tire. Let me tell you that for the $ this is a very good tire. Narrow (30), less noisy, and last longer. I really like the side brand name also. Very good!
