I use these on my track bike for "training" on the velodrome. Nice, inexpensive option for a narrower tire to run high pressure on the track. Not very supple, but appears to be very durable. I like the simplicity of the tubular-clincher system, actually very easy to mount once you understand how it works, and saves costs on tubes and rim tape. I am looking for a more supple tufo tub-clinch for racing. Not sure I would use these on the road though, as it would be harder to deal with flats.
One flaw I've noticed, which my be due to "user error" -there's a slight hop or bump near the valve. I think this is because an extra piece of rubber is glued on the underside of the tire at the valve, making that section thicker and less flexible, so it doesn't seat in the tire as well. I'm hoping this is not an issue on the costlier models.

This is a great tire. I rode an entire season on a single set. Had one minor puncture, used the sealant and the tire has held air like new ever since. These feel rock solid in the rim, remain inflated at full pressure for much longer than a clincher and tube setup, and roll like tubulars. They can be a bit of a struggle to install but it's hit or miss and more technique related to the installer than an inherent shortcoming of the tire itself.
