Definitely feels better than stock and more durable, rides smooth with little lost of speed of 1 or 2mph because of the weight difference but not by much.
PRO- Very thick rubber protects against blow-outs and punctures. Has a nice birt-bike off-road asthetic.CON- A little more pricey than others in it's category. The thick tread will slightly decrease your speed so there is a tradeoff with off-roading capabilities.
