Had a pair of sport contacts until someone nicked my wheels, I loved them very fast and never had a puncture. These on the other hand are a pain to get on and off the rim and I have had three punctures in as many months, they are fast but a much harsher ride than the contacts. I will be ditching these tyres and getting some contacts very soon!
I have had a pair of these for about 1,000 miles.
Good points: light, roll well, wear well and give good grip/handling. Judging by the large (1cm) cuts in the rubber which have not resulted in punctures, they appear to resist large items.
Bad points: tend to pick up small flints/thorns which work their way through and cause punctures (even with regular checking). Very hard to fit/remove.
Rear tyre has now split so will be replacing with something else.
Had these for about three months now they were very difficult to get on the first time but ok after that,twice actually because thats how many times i have punctured.On the plus side they are very fast rolling but all in all they are no better or worse than others i have used.
