 Affordable and fastJul 19, 2008
By Christopher Kohler
"criminalsmile"
It's been a few months since I threw these on both my bike and my wife's. So far we've had no flats, and that includes a lot of curb-hopping, and riding on everything from gravel to urban streets to lawns (shhh, don't tell).
If the majority of your riding is on the asphalt and concrete these tires are a terrific way to improve your rolling resistance. They're a breeze on packed dirt, too. I also find them aesthetically pleasing; the tread looks nicer than some of the more expensive tires, and the logo treatment on the side walls is tasteful and timeless.
Just one word of warning; I read a review somewhere before purchasing these that they out rode some knobbies in gravel. I find this highly unlikely. My first week or so on these I came tearing into some gravel at a little bit of an angle and woah, boy, did that get my heart rate up.
Also, I can only give the tires four stars because, while I haven't had any flats, they offer no flat protection.
Overall this is a great, cheap way for you to speed up a mountain bike, and stave off those urges you get every time you stroll by that road cycle in the bike shop.
Don't think I didn't see you.

 Michelin Country rockNov 24, 2006
By spentonbargains
I bought one of these tires as a replacement, and fell in
love with it - bought 3 more... the center tread rides
smooth, yet has some tread, and the lateral tread
widens out for rough terrain. I put tire liners and
presta valve tubes in, and its a great combination.
March 31, 2007... maybe not a five star...the tube started
bulging out the weak sidewall...then a blowout...replaced the
tube, now the same thing at 35 lbs. so I re-tucked in the
tire into the rim...will see what happens. Weak or "too flexible"
sidewalls?

Great for Cross TerrainJan 22, 2009
By glostah
My daily ride involves riding on regular pavement, through muddy and rocky woods and across a beach, so I decided to try these in place of my regular nobby tires. I thought I was going to have problems with rougher parts of my ride, but was pleasantly surprised to find that these tires do really well in everything but the softest of beach sand [but that's what nobby's are for, right?]. They track very well even in pretty squishy mud.
I keep these tires inflated at a pretty high psi[~60lbs], and the improvement on the street riding is phenomenal! They've held up well under daily abuse - 12 miles a day, I'm ~215 lbs. -It's hard on the gear. If these were shoes, they'd be cross trainers.

Great for mountain bike to commuter bike conversionAug 08, 2006
By steve_oakland
I put these tires on my old mountain bike to turn it into a street/pavement worthy commuting bike. These are much better for street riding than knobby mud tires. The tires are very quiet and the rolling resistance is much less than mud tires. The minimal tread on these tires is great for gravelled pavement and asphalt on worn city streets. I haven't tried these tires on hardpack trail, but I imagine they would suffice.
Note added 5/3/2010:
I've been purchasing these every couple years as replacements when the previous set wears out. These aren't the longest-lasting tires, nor do they offer flat protection, but the price is right and the quality is good.

 good all around tireFeb 25, 2010
By Thomas L. Prentice
"tired biker"
These tires reminde me of the stock tires that came on enduro type motorcycles of the 70's wich were known to be not as good on the street as street tires and not as good off road as dirt tires.
They are light and they do seem to roll pretty good on the street, the tread will instantly fill with mud in the soft stuff. I bought these to replace a set of stock chen shin tires on a 93 mongoose alta that came with aggressive tread and 2.10 width.
I was expecting a huge differance, It didnt happen! Turned out the mongoose tires were also very light with low rolling resistance and were more capable of off roading.
The country rock tires are a good tire and they look more expensive then they are,but dont expect miracles from them.
