Review: Very good tires - 8/31/2015: Received the tires, first impression was good, being a fold-able tire, it is a little more effort to install, tire lever is recommended (my fingers are not that strong) i needed something with better flat protection on the commuter, as the stock tires that came with the bike was cut up badly with just 3000 miles on them, without being worn out was gona go with Specialized Armadillo, but comparing the two, and the Gatorskin is $15 cheaper, and available on desertcart i order the 32c tires, to replace the 30c stockers, the commuter is the Secteur Disc, and i occasionally wander off road with it, hence the fat tires at 350g (for 32c) they a much lighter than the stock Espoir Sport tires (440g), i do feel the different as they are rotational mass, it also has a taller profile while identical in width, (the 32c Roubaix Pro tires i have on the Diverge has similar height, but wider), this translate to a better compliant ride, not sluggish, just very smooth (i have the pressure set at 90psi for paved road riding) as for rolling resistant, it is hard to tell, it does require less effort, but that could be just being lighter tires, the Roubaix Pro seems to roll faster, but that was on the Diverge Carbon, a much lighter and robust bike overall this tires meet all my expectations with a competitive price point, will update over time on flat protection and durability i have a 4000 miles/year commute on bike in Boston, so i'll be interested to see how the tire fair against road debris/sand/gravel/snow/heat UPDATE 9/20/2015: 400 miles in, the tires are broken in, still flush on rough road, it seems to roll an bit better. The best part: not a single scratch on the tires, and this is on the same road that cut up my old tires to bits. Happy camper
