Commuting in the dark: Riding at dusk without lights (never a good idea!), took a turning to go home down an 11% gradient hill. Once descending I realised that the council had skimmed the road...damn i thought before hitting a huge pothole at 25mph (i was being catious), i felt for sure that i had punctured, as I would on any other tyres i've used previously...not the case...Continental...I love you!!!

Nick Nicolini's review summary:
I bought these to replace the Maxxis Re-Fuse tires that came on my bike. These are suppose to be Maxxis best puncture resistant tires and longer lasting. I went through two of these in 2500 miles or so and had about 5 flats total for both tires. Upon replacing the first I noticed the new tire immediately showing road abuse.
I put the Hardshells on about 500 miles ago riding the same route and distances daily and I can not find a cut or mark in them. By 500 miles the Maxxis were showing ware with the ride beginning to flatten. Not the Hardshells there is hardly any signs of wear of any kind.
I also found the ride more comfortable and the handling improved.
Product Strengths:
Cut resistance Durable Riding Comfort Improved Handling
Product Weaknesses:
None at this time
