So Far - Great Tire

Ordered a pair to replace my old Kevlar tires that were going bald. So far these are very impressive replacements. Responsive and grippy in corners and if Strava speeds are correct, I have gained about 1/2 MPH (maybe a little more) in my average speed. Time will tell, but right now I am very satisfied and highly recommend these for anyone riding a vintage road bike with 27 inch tires. Thank you for keeping older bikes on the road

Great Value.

Initially I bought these to see if a 700 x 30C would fit my road bike due to its low pricel. I paired it with set of TPU tubes and to my surprise were very impressive with good grip, low rolling resistance and are very compliant. They were good enough for me to keep them on my bike. The low price makes it a perfect tire for training and everyday use.

Good Road tires

I don't have a ton of tires to compare this to, and that's why I have rated it 4 stars. I installed these on my Sirrus X Comp Carbon after I got a MTB since I just plan on riding it on the street now. I had some Tracer Pro (stock tire) on my bike before that had a more gravel profile to them. These definitely roll with more efficiency. Since they're inflated a lot higher, it is a rougher ride. I can really tell a difference when climbing up the hill in my neighborhood, but I'm not sure how much of that is the reduction in diameter (700x35 vs 700x38) or the smoother tread profile and higher tire pressure. If I had to guess it's the profile and pressure that has helped uphill pedaling efficiency since the diameter change is very small. They do corner better than the Tracer Pros. For a road tire on a hybrid style bike, they're pretty good. They were also very cheap. I'm ok with them, nothing game changing here though.

I purchased these mostly for

I purchased these mostly for commuting to save my nicer gravel tires. I like they they are affordable, slick (with some light edge tread) and relatively wide (35 mm). They are working very well for commuting. I heard that they were not great for gravel, but I thought they would be fine for commuting on pavement. But I’ve been surprised at how well they work on some shorter, smoother bits of gravel here and there. In sum, great budget tire for commuting, road riding and light gravel.

I got ~2500 miles on this tires

Tires came stock on my Allez Elite. I didnt not rotate the tires, and was able to ride over 2500 miles before I began to get chronic flats on the rear tire which was essentially worn out. I would recommend the tire as it performed well. However, I am personally going to try a different tire with higher rated specs.

I would buy this again

They fit perfectly and they go on like butter. I was replacing my SPECIALIZED TRI-CROSS tires and was worried about the size because they not that common. When I got them I was pleasantly surprised with the tread and the fell of them.

Better for road

I purchased a 2021 diverge elite this summer and couldn't be happier with the bike. However, the stock tires ""roadsport"" were making me a little sad as I have fell twice due to loose gravel and tires suddenly lost traction and slipped. As the name suggested, it's best rolling on pavement and light gravel. I can't wait to put two new pathfinder pro tires on my diverge elite for some real gravel riding!

Measures up a tad small but very comfortable

Thought I'd try a 28c tyre to improve ride comfort. (Was running 23c). clearance is generaly very tight on a Giant TCR (2013), but because this tyre measured up as 26mm, it is perfect. Very comfortable and good value. Am very pleased after my first ride.

Better than I expected

These came stock on my 2021 Diverge Elite. I was expecting them not to work well in gravel and dirt... I was super wrong. On the road, the center strip has plenty of grip and they roll quickly. In the light gravel and hardpack dirt, they roll just as good as they do on pavement. What really surprised me was on one of our gravel rides the trail became muddy. It was the thickish semi peanut butter mud. The tires never lost traction. I could see the side lugs were collecting mud which let me know they were digging. I wouldn't recommend these tires for mud at all but the fact they worked in a pinch surprised the heck out of me. I plan of getting some of the Pathfinder 2 pros and going tubeless. I think all the diverge should have at least come with those. However! I'm not disappointed in these tires even a little bit. If I was commuter then these tires are no brainer, if I rode very casual gravel I'd say ride these until you can't anymore.
