Anybody use these?

Just after some cheap rubber for my old road bike and can get these for £9. Will I regret it over spending £20 on some Conti Gatorskins or similar.

Do they offer any puncture protection?

    I have a pair of these. 500 miles in, seem pretty good. There is some kind of puncture protection on them (at least it says so on the sidewall). For the money, I think they're very good.

    I haven't had any punctures so far. By writing that down, I bet I will get one now!!!

    Mine have been reliable too... I will replace with the same.... Where do you get them for a tenner as they retail for £20 on the net..

    I always run these,bought them off fleabay two for 14.99.
    One thing I will say is I had a puncture at high speed,and my rim cut in to the side walls by the time i stopped.
    The walls do seem quite thin,as opposed to some other tyres ive run.
    Still buy them though as there cheap.

    Great Tyres, I use these for winter training/commuting and been very good in the wear/puncture performance.

    They are however quite heavy, although makes me really feel my good wheels when I swap them over :D

    Can't go wrong for the price.
    STOP!......... Carry on!

    Thanks for the recommendations. I did go for them and they seem fine. Not too heavy in my opinion for a commuting tyre.

    Not the easiest to wrestle on to the rims. The inevitable roadside change will be interesting.
