Title: Frequent flats
Review: I bought these on recommendation from a local shop - no more flats they claimed. Expensive, but worth it right? Well in the first 15 days of riding I've had three flats. After the first I returned the tire to the shop for a new one, then that tire got a flat too. Sheesh.The first flat (day two of riding) was a weird sidewall blowout, maybe a defect in the manufacture of the tire. The second and third were from pieces of gravel slicing the tread all the way through to the tube. Just regular gravel from a bike path. So now I have a useless $50 tire with two holes in it, and another that I don't trust. Very disappointing.I should note that I've been riding my bike everywhere my life takes me for the last ten years, and am very experienced in installing and caring for tires.In the past I've had success with Bontrager race lite tires, which are cheaper to boot.
