These are without doubt, the hardest tire to mount that I've ever used. It took me an hour and extreme effort to get the wire beads seated. Definitely needed to use levers and even then it was brutal. I'm sure the tires will be durable but i dread the thought of having to fix a flat in the field.
Great replacement tire for an older ten speed bike with 27" rims. Excellent for riding on city streets.
