    I would like to get some input on them...I am buying a new bike next week and this time I want to go all out and accessorize! Plus I saw a black/yellow Madone in the shop with the black/yellow tires and it just looked so nice.

    Oh, by the way...I am LOVING the new look of the TE online shop. I don't know for how long this has been going on, but I just noticed it today.

    I'm getting the pink ones but I know I shouldn't. My shop gawd says they're awesome, he has them. He just didn't think they'd be good for me because I commute and tend to run into lots of "crap" and they aren't super flat resistant in icky conditions. That's all he told me though.

    I like them very much. They've been fine, flat-wise (I've had one flat in about 1,500 miles on them, and it was a big piece of glass). But the main reason I like them is because they have a plush, grippy feel. I now have them on a carbon bike, but previously I had them on my old aluminum bike, and the first ride I took after switching from my Hutchinson Carbon Comps was revelatory. It felt like a different bike.

    I think they're a good choice.

    I have the non-folding ones. I love them, and they are indeed very resistant, and perform well in the rain.

    And they come in blue.

    Yep. Had the pink and now have white.

    They're not super durable, but not super wimpy, either. I have had stuff (metal, glass) get stuck in the tire that I didn't notice until I got home because it didn't go all the way through and cause a flat. Before I retired my last set, they had acquired a lot of little cuts. One big cut happened during a ride and I had to use a dollar bill for a boot, but other than that the small cuts weren't a problem.
