They are a great tyre, not sure about the white thou. more of a summer tyre.

Great performance tyres, but I'd only use them on the cleanest roads in the best of weather as they do cut up very easily IME.

 

[lonewalker]

got them now there in the post as they say

Fanatic tyre with a good rolling value ... would go for the all black/black/grey !
Would need some crocodile skin cycling shoes to match those tyres !

Interesting to see the proud boast on the web-site

A V-Guard now ensures puncture protection.

So no p*******s ever then ?????

Very cleverly worded. It doesn't promise p******e prevention, but protection. Now so many of us are using marathon+, they're an endangered species, in need of protection, which is where the ultremo's excel........maybe?

They wear out and cut up to quick to let punctures be a problem, mighty fast tyre though so maybe they bend the laws of physics and time warp around road debris?

Why not do a segment of the Prudential London _Surrey Classic route. You can do London or head into leafy Surrey and the noted Box Hill. At least your friend can tell her mates about it back in Oz.

White ??

Right, the only way you'll keep them any way resembling clean after a wet ride...is..... spray Mr Sheen on the side walls, it takes out the black brake crap.

I got a puncture within about thirty seconds of using them .

Brilliant tyre at a good price. Not so sure about the white though. Those and the Shwalbe One's are my top summer tyres. Enjoy

Faulty batch of these were floating around about 18 months ago,they crack round sidewalls and cotton type threads just fall of them,after 3 sets doing it I gave up on them!shortly afterwards I see lots heavily discounted everywhere!shame really there fast and light and run really smooth.

Got em on my Cube, in black!, only use them in summer, when you know its not gonna rain at all and make sure their inflated correctly, apart from that enjoy how fast they roll, as another CC has said the "cotton type thread" comes away, but I've had no dramas with them.
If you use them wisely then a puncture will vary between riders, I did a sportive last year and found myself running over all sorts of stuff that could've put a cut in them but nothing and was really expecting one!.
