Chances are if you're a dayglo-wearing, fannypacking, gram-cutting, slick-tire-insisting courier or wannabe courier, you have no problem shelling out fifty bucks a piece for premium tires made of the newest wonder compound and designed for the aerodrome on the moon.
For the rest of us who are just sick of crappy $10 tires, this is an excellent compromise. It's got a nice tread that works much better in rain and even light snow than any of the el cheapo bargain tires, but won't cause the noise, skids, and disproportionate flat spots after a hard stop that some of the really aggressive hybrid tires do - the ones that are 70/30 mountain/road, instead of the other way around.
I put these tires on both my and my girlfriend's daily commuters, both traditional road frames, as well as the cruiser that gets taken out for Critical Mass gatherings and the like. They'll serve you much better over a far wider range of conditions than most tires anywhere near their price range, and dollar for dollar, are a far better choice for the vast majority of riders who have no reason to spend the big money on ultra performance tires that ultimately don't suit as wide a range of road conditions and generally sacrifice durability for weight savings.
They're just decent all-around tires, and I'd recommend them to anybody who's not planning to hit the track or the mountainside, but might see some rough streets or the occasional dirt or gravel patch.
