I bought this tire for my 29" unicycle. It is very light and efficient for road use. The tread is soft enough to provide good traction with low rolling resistance.

I got 2 of these for my 2009 GF 29er Rig. I have put ~3000 miles on these tires since I started using them a few years ago. I think they're finally beginning to wear out at this point; realistically I can probly get another 3-400 miles out of them, maybe more.I live in Phoenix, AZ. The tires are running on asphalt and concrete (90%), with some occasional hard-pack and/or gravel (10%). In my view they are perfect for that kind of application--granted it doesn't rain much here, so not a lot of wetness on the road--you'll be very satisfied with these tires if you need a good, solid, street tire that performs very well on dry concrete/asphalt. The tires offer the lowest rolling resistance/friction I've seen yet. They will not grab the dirt/hard-pack terribly well (minimally, well enough), and won't perform well on anything tougher than that.I think I've had maybe 3 flats total during the ~3 years I've been riding these tires. I picked up a couple of slime tubes for it--presta's and slime tubes seem to work extremely well together--and rolling flats are *very* rare w/this set-up. No pinch flats so far.Caveat emptor: if you live in a city/suburb where you're likely to encounter quite a lot of glass, nails, thorns, and assorted sharp objects lying in the road, you might want to take that into consideration. I do not live in a city where there is much in the road other than asphalt and, rarely, a little wetness from sporadic rain.
