The best tyre you can put on your bike at the best price you can get them in NZ. What's not to love? Loads of tour riders now running 28s & 30s rather than 25s, because they're better and faster. These are on my training/day to day alloy rims, they're quick, they've got great grip and I'd take a lot of convincing not to replace them with more of the same when I finally wear them out (which won't be for a while!). Just buy them, seriously.
