The Serfas Seca Survivor tire is the ultimate training tire. It offers an long tread life, extra puncture resistance in extreme riding conditions and a superior feel on the road.

4 layers of puncture resistance and flat protection provide peace of mind to riders going long distances
First comes an extra thick tread layer for enhanced road feel and durability
Then a layer of ballistic nylon fabric is used to build the tire casing, giving the tire internal strength and extra resistance to long-term deterioration
Tire features a 60 TPI casing to keep the tires lightweight; it also lends a smooth, supple ride
Lastly, 2 layers of FPS (Flat Protection System) material are sandwiched all the way around the tire from bead to bead to resist pinch flats and cuts in the sidewalls
Wire bead

Imported.

This tire exceeded my expectations. It strikes a good balance between being hard wearing and grippy. It is a good choice in any non race situation. Try the 700c x 28's if your frame will fit them; the weight penalty is minimal and the added comfort is primo. I've ridden these on the RAMROD and during fast, loaded touring. No flats for thousands of miles helps qualify these as great tires! They are the right price, too.

Comments about Serfas Seca Survivor Tire - 700 x 23 / 25 / 28:

There's nothing quite like sitting with a group of 20 people (who just finished a 500 mile Cycle Oregon run) and say "it's been 2 years since I had a flat". You watch 20 heads swivel slowly towards your ride....then they all go see what tire your sporting.

I'm 195 pounds on a good day...and I've run my Survivors 3000 miles without a single flat across Idaho and Oregon. Weight difference between a Survivor and Gator is nothing. I did an 80 mile day with a half inch of rainfall...no issues with traction.

Careful going up to a 28 without measuring your brakes. I went up thinking I would get a "softer" feel on my aging backside....but the clearance between the tire and brake proved problematic with wet days and debris.

I agree with the reviewer that said getting them on the first AND second time is a pig....it's a good thing their bulletproof.

She may not be the fastest tire out there, but if you want to spend more time riding and less time with grease on your hands...these babies are for you.

Comments about Serfas Seca Survivor Tire - 700 x 23 / 25 / 28:

I'm a recreational cyclist, I cannot speak to cornering, grip, or rolling resistance. At my skill level all tires I've used seem equal in these area's, I'm just not pushing the envelope the way a more competitive cyclist would. What I like about these tires is; I don't get many flats and they're relatively easy to get on & off the rim. As for rain, I live in a temperate rain forest climate and I've experienced no problems. The tires are a little drab in appearance, a reflective stripe around the tire would be nice, but I'm not buying tires based on appearance.

Comments about Serfas Seca Survivor Tire - 700 x 23 / 25 / 28:

I'm 160lbs and run this tire on the rear, 700 x 28 @ 125psi. Sometimes when loaded with +35lbs more equipment I run them at 115psi. They're yet to give me a puncture or pinch flat while riding around Los Angeles. I'm very pleased with them. No skids, no aggressive descents or high speed cornering though, just lots of miles commuting and having fun. Not the lightest tire, but for the protection they provide they feel much lighter and have less rolling resistance than say Specialized Armadillos (slowest tires I've ever used and suffered cuts too easily). I'll buy them again.

Comments about Serfas Seca Survivor Tire - 700 x 23 / 25 / 28:

These tires seem rock solid and are stiffer that Schwalbe Marathons....but...they were a real [*] to get on the rims.....took two people even with soap on the rim. They better not flat much as changing them in the field will not be much fun.
