Kenda Kwick Roller Sport Tyre 700 x 28C

Advantages: Durability
Disadvantages: None

...Been commuting with the 700x28c(622-28) Marathon plus tyre 4 months/2000km flatless on my city-bike. Every other trip I spot glass and the likes somewhere on my route, but I dont mind very much if I cant avoid running over it. Actually I've been running over large pieces of glass quite a few times while feeling it shatter under me even more, and without a worry in my mind. As for wear, the front tyre actually still has the thin rubber grate visible all round the tyre on the main contact thread; the one you only see on all-new tyres. On the back tyre, this grate is all gone but no visible thread wear so far. I expect 5000+ km from these tyres before replacement. And that is the back tyre. Then when times comes, it is just a matter of replacing the rear wheel tyre with the old (but not so worn) front wheel tyre and then mounting all... Read review

Advantages: kevlar reinforced belt, reflective sidewalls, design, on or off road suitable
Disadvantages: price is quite high but quality, safety and peace in mind costs

...If you have problems with punctures, feel like wheel is to heave or something to use on o off road - this tyres are definitely for you. I bought them for my bike about 2 years ago. As remember paid about £18 per tyre. They lasted for over one year where cycling about 160 kilometres a week. I was extremely pleased with them. Honestly can not say anything wrong about these tyres. Rolling resistance is very low, so thanks that you should be more about to achieve higher speed. Continental supplied some models with reflective sidewall to increase your safety during nigh. I got this model and have to say that it really works well. As long as you keep your tyres quite clean they will reflect light brilliantly. The weight of a tyre is: - 640g folding option - 690g wired and reflective option - 670g wired only option Installation... Read review

Advantages: Good price, good longivity
Disadvantages: Bit heavy and slightly slow rolling

...I used to use these tyres a few years ago. They are fairly well priced, and the wear rate was good. Grip in the dry was good, though in the wet they did slide around a bit, - as many cheaper tyres do. I always felt less confident going around corners (particularly roundabouts) in the wet. However, as a training tyre that is fine, and as they are a few years old now, I would imagine the price has come down from the £14 I paid. If they were under £10 a pair, I would probably buy another set. However, I have moved onto Conti GP 4season Gatorskins as my training tyre of choice, and to be honest I would recommend you spend the extra money and buy a set of these (see my other review for details)....
