Product Details

The All Condition Armadillo Elite is the most flat-resistant tire available. Impressively though, it has performance characteristics that far exceed many competitor's race tires. We've given it a tread pattern that offers excellent all-weather traction, and newly-sourced materials for the best puncture protection possible. In terms of ride quality, our GRIPTON® compound is surpassed by none. It provides low rolling resistance and the ultimate in dry and wet condition traction. Without hyperbole, it's the best flat-resistant, high-performance tire that we've ever made.

  • Casing: 120 TPI

  • Bead: Foldable

  • Compound: GRIPTON®

  • Flat Protection: Armadillo Elite

  • 700 x 23mm, psi 110-125, approximate weight 285g

good for flats, but sidewall may pop early

Check other low reviews for this tire-- the compound seems great at preventing flats, but if sidewalls give out too early to get full use of the tire, you're trading one issue for another. One sidewall gave out just at the top of a very steep descent yesterday. *maybe* 1500km on the tires. No flats, but that's a pretty poor lifespan.

Resilient and ride well

I was touring in Spain with standard high quality tires and kept getting flats. In Granada I picked up a pair of Armadillos and have never looked back. I have subsequently toured repeatedly with these and the only flat I had was a nail in the tire. They also ride very well. Unless I'm doing a triathlon, these are the only tires I use.

Very good tires; great anti-flat technology; Rear tire didn't last too long

Bottom line: I would buy these tires again. Details: Rear tire lasted about 8 months/2,000 miles. I made it home before the rear tire went flat so I'm impressed by the anti-flat technology (I wasn't even aware that I had a flat until the next day when it was completely flat--not sure what caused it. A year/approx. 3,400 miles later, I'm still riding on the front tire. I ride mostly on cement or asphalt roads at a nearby reservoir--mostly smooth surfaces but with occasional thistles/other hazards. I expect to ride increasingly on gravel surfaces and will replace tires before doing that. These are superior to other tires I've owned.

doesn't resist upholstery staples

With a claim of the most flat-resistant tire available, I would have expected more. Emphasis on "resistant" meaning you can still get a flat. It's not resistant to upholstery staples. I got a flat from where one went right into the tread.

Bad News, Good News, Bad…

I bought 2 Armadillo Elite tires 1 month ago. Rode them no more than 200kms. Bad News : A big bubble appeared on my rear tire. I deflated it a little 75 psi from 90 psi and rode on it back home. After 3 kms, the buble has disappeared. No explosion, just a small air leak sound for a second. I was going to stop but the tire was still inflated… since the darkness was coming, I continue hoping for the best. So I rode another 7 kms and Good News ; the tire remained inflated. Looking at it back home, I found a 1 cm ( 3/8 inch) slot in the middle of the tread, parallel to the tire. A bit of rubber was gone. I inflated it back to 90 psi and after 5 days everything seems ok. Surprinsing!!! I was on my way to ride and test it today and…. Bad News: There is a bubble on the front tire. So are the tires good? It seems the anti-flat technology works great. However, on the manufacturing side, not quite sure… Am I the only one who experienced this kind of situation?

Great tires

My second pair of these tires. My first pair has 4000 miles on them. Front tire is still showing the center bead so I’m not changing it any time soon. The rear tire is still showing the west marker so probably 500 to 1000 more miles before changing out. I bought new tires because they were on sale through Specialized. Theses tires have very good grip and roll. I’ve had some high speed descents, 47+mph, with decent cornering and the tires handled it without a hiccup. I’m hesitant on saying this as not to jinx myself but I haven’t had a flat with these tires. I see a few little cuts and slices but none hot to the tubes. Great tires.

Armadillo Tires

Retiree, that has ridden on these tires the last four to five years, not one flat. Ride about dozen times a year about 30/50 kl, sometimes on gravel back roads. On previous non armadillo tires I was constantly repairing flats. These tires are now showing many cracks up the centre…still no flats! Ordered same tires. Would definitely recommend the Armadillos. Not only that, they ride very smoothly, it is obvious I do less peddling than those I ride with.

4 flats in 4 days

I got a flat the FIRST day I put these tires on. While I was being extra cautious to avoid glass. I got the flat fixed, and the NEXT day I got a flat. I got that flat fixed. Two days later I got a flat in BOTH tires. These tires do no protect well at all in normal city conditions. Prior to trying out these Armadillos I used Finnci and Continental Ultra Sport. I rode those tires in L.A. for a year and did not get a flat. I rode in Chicago for YEARS, and would get a flat once in a while. Not every day like in these Armadillos.

Expensive mistake

Purchased this 700c 32mm tire under bike shop recommendations as I commute to work early mornings, or the rotation shift where I leave work at midnight. No punctures, but the rubber compound began splitting and cracking through the edge of sidewall, and throughout the tread sipes "in less than a years usage", which is approximately 700km. Still have the receipt, and photos and videos, to prove my point. $180 + HST. As a father of 4, and legal guardian of 2 more, this was a frustrating, expensive, disappointment, from a distinguished cycling brand. Sorry, your bike frames are great, your mips helmet saved my head couple years ago, but the craftsmanship and product quality and durability of this tire cannot be recommended with confidence, for the price. Heartbreaking.

Great on the CREO

I put these on my Creo SL after the 3rd flat with the Turbo Pros it came with. Not one flat since in over 1500 miles commuting, light gravel and all around just going as fast as that thing will carry Clydesdale me. They look a little worn, but pretty sure I can get through the season on them. They don't ride as smooth as the original Turbo Pros, but I HATE fixing flats. I'd like them to be tubeless, but they are easy to install and the tube just isn't a hassle when you never have to deal with it. They don't feel heavy on nice carbon wheels, so all good.

No perfect tire but good enough to commute on

This tire lasts, but how long it lasts depends on what you ride through. There is a lot of road debri, including auto glass on my current route, which I've ridden through this season a total of 30 times. Finally, just yesterday I got a flat on my way home, and after fixing it, I got another flat 5 miles later. Weird. And I inspected the tire when initially changing it and I didn't see anything. But this morning I got the bike up on my stand, took the tire off and inspected it thoroughly. Turns out glass imbeds, and then the rubber can close around it so you don't notice it unless you are really looking. But even then the glass doesn't puncture. Turned out one of these shards had worked its way in, and then I had continually rode it further into the tire where it finally barely poked through. This is on me, not the tire. Would buy again, but I will also be going back to my route with a broom!

On my second set - and would buy again

Finally had to take my first pair off after 2,000+ miles (no true idea but that's a minimum and likely many more). They had actually corded out in a couple of spots (some hard braking) and had various rips, tears and gouges - but never lost any air. I took pictures - too bad you can't post them here. Good grip in varied conditions - not a lot of wet riding but the few times I was caught out, felt very good. On a second pair and hoping that they are as good - and safe as the first pair.

These tires are phenomenal!!

I installed these Armadillo Elite tires on my 2017 Diverge Elite. This is my second set of tires on this bike replacing the Espoire Sport tires that it came with. I ride a mixture gravel trail and road about 50 miles a week. The roads around here are pretty good but there are a lot of aging asphalt surfaces that are quite rough. The Espoire tires were really good I was actually considering just ordering another round of them because I didn't expect any tire could be much better. I am amazed with these Armadillos. There is a noticeable reduction in rolling resistance but somehow also a noticeable improvement in traction and ride comfort. They even sound different on the gravel; much quieter almost can't hear the gravel under them. Uneven and rough paved surfaces and small rocks and debris are almost completely unnoticeable. I'm very impressed with how these tires perform on the road and the gravel. They also look very nice on my Diverge; it looks like it should.

The only road tire I will ever use!

Been riding this tire for over 9 years now and must say this tire is essentially flat proof. Used to live on Maui where the glass and debris on the side of the road was extreme. Most times if the debris even stuck into the tire it would not puncture and with quick inspection you can just pop out anything that actually gets embedded. Rode many miles with cuts in outer jacket and no problem. I once road this tire for 11 miles with a 3 inch section of the cord showing. By the time I got back to the car there were 3 new sections with NO rubber. That says a lot about the tire.

2nd purchase of these tires

I haven't installed the new tires yet (on sale). I swapped All Condition Armadillo Elites for the Specialized Turbo Pro's that were on the bike when I bought it (8/27/18 - $30 difference). I was looking for a little more all around traction, lower pressure and wider tire. Rear tire got a rock cut shortly after the first ride (rock still embedded in the tire for approx 10 miles before I discovered it). Sliver of limestone about 3/8 x3/8"" cut and stayed the tread but didn't puncture. Sealed it with Shoe Glue and it's been running without incident (aprox 1250 miles according to Strava). The tire has worn down to 'smooth' where the cut was so I figure it's close to replacement time. Plan on running at least another 250/400 miles on the rear tire before I replace it. See how it wears. Local bike shop said I could probably get more mileage out of them but I would have to decide whether I want to fix flats or ride. Hmmm - RIDE! Like the Armadillo Elites. Decent traction (gravel, tarmac, dirt, grass). Wet or dry.

I ride about 7500 miles a year. Less than ideal roads. I flat about once every two to three years riding on Armadillo Elites. I am on my third set. I usually change them e dry 12 months as I figure I've gotten my money's worth. Last November I had a freak wire pierce my tire. I patched it with a piece of Tenacious Tape (for fixing tents, rafts...) and am still riding this tire! Would love to upload a pic but this review page doesn't offer such.

Toughest bicyle tires produced!

I have used Armadillo Elite tires for 10 years and in that time I have had only a handful of flats or punctures. These are the best and strongest bicycle tires that one can use.

Definitely worth it

Before these tires I would get flats all the time. I have had these tires for almost 10 years and only one flat. I'm just now needing to get a new set!
