Tire is good. Stiff rubber.
Tires are fine but the rubber is stiff and feels like 6-ply not 4 ply. In comparison to the original US-brand tire that I removed/replaced, this rubber is a stiffer compound on the tread blocks. Was difficult to get onto the rim and nearly impossible to seat the bead since the rubber was deformed from "strapping" used during shipping from factory to distributor (no straps were used for shipping from distributor to me, but you could see deformation marks where the straps were used before).... I had to put the tires / rims into the oven at 140degF for 30-40minutes to soften it up to be able to seat the bead, and even then had to fight with the tire to bend the rubber straight into nice round shape etc.... not easy.
of course, using an inner-tube made it a piece of cake (on the 2nd wheel) - tube did all the work.
overall tire quality and everything else is spot on. reason for 4 stars is because of the deformation and stiff rubber that made it hard to install....
