Great Tires

Rating:*****

I Recently replaced the stock Maxxis Columbire tires on my Cannondale Synapse Carbon 3 bike with a pair of the Hutchinson Intensive Kevlar Hardskins. These tires weigh about 15g more then the Maxxis. However, the Hutchinson's have a much smoother and quieter ride. Traction and high speed stability on dry roads is very good. I don't have enough mileage on the Hutchinson's to rate the mileage claim (6000km) or puncture resistence. However, so far I like them very much.

Team RadioShack just ordered a ton of these

Rating:****

Lance put in an order for a bunch of these tires for his team to train on in the 700x25c version. Lance himself will be riding the Fusion 2 with the yellow striping on the side 23c to train on. I'm not sure what they will race on though it will be a Hutchinson tire. If they are good enough for Lance's boys I'd say these Intensives are good enough for you.

Better sidewalls than Gators and Fusion2s

Rating:*****

The road shoulders on my rides are debris fields. I flatted Conti Gators and Hutch Fusion2 Kevs through SIDEWALL punctures, esp. the Gators. The Hardskins don't suffer from sidewall punctures (knock on wood .... actually, Kevlar). The 15 additional grams is well spent, and the price here is almost always the best on the Net.

Ride on the right side of the shoulder with confidence!

Rating:*****

Although a little heavier than normal road tires, these thicker tires seem burlier. Great for the so-called 'paved' mountain roads of the West, which are usually pretty rough, in need of repair, and covered in tiny rocks and seeds. No worries with these tires.
