Puncture resistance and low rolling resistance are at opposite ends of the performance scale. Select your compromise. Also, fronts and rears don't have to be the same tire.

Just took off 406-1.1 Duranos on my 2014 700. Had about 500 miles on them. They went on a friend's KMX Venom. Replaced them with 406-.90 Ultremos. About 1.5 miles faster and quieter. I run 140 in the...

I have a 2006 Road. I use Marathon Plus tires, thorn-resistant tubes, and Slime. One of my reasons for riding is fitness, so I don't mind that this combination has more rolling resistance than some...

I roll on Marathon HS-420's all around on the 700. After a close call with the Ultremo ZX on a sidewall blowout at 30+ MPH, its a no-brainer. I want tires that -won't- fail catastrophically and...

I did use the disclaimer "catastrophically". I have had the Marathon fail with a wide cut through the cords where the tube would have extruded given time. Carrying a Tyvek tire boot is important (a $1...

Low weight and fast is the way to go on smooth surfaces. I seek those roads/paths out to get the most fun out of my 700. I have had no flats on the Ultremos so far and have rode over stuff I did not...

The cerema-guard liners in the Ultremo's are a really nice feature. The material is meant to grind up glass shards before they go through the casing. The biggest problem I've had with Kojaks is the...

I can't understand the need for speed on a tri(bi)cycle. Of course put racing aside. Isn't cycling (tri or bi) about getting around under your own power in peace and quiet? I (bi) cycled the Alps...

Fat tires is the call for chip seal roads and worse. For baby butt smooth roads and trails, hard and narrow is the call. There are so many totally smooth trails in the mid west that riding rough roads...
