oh yeah - I had one Rubino that I got as a door prize. I put it on my rain bike as a winter/trainer tire. The thing was BOMB proof - never got a flat and showed little wear even using the trainer, but it was a BEAR to mount. It took both my husband and myself pushing and pulling to get the thing on my rim the first time.
