London proof
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, High Quality, Rugged
Cons: Expensive, Limited Color Choices
"These tyres are amazing. They have seen me through 14 months of heavy duty urban riding, over countless potholes and thru hundreds of glass patches, with no punctures as yet!! They are a tight fit, but once on they roll well and are plenty grippy. Highly recommended. Truly fit and forget."

So Comfortable
Pros: Comfortable
"I have only ridden these tyres for a week but they are so comfortable, over the last 20 years I have slowly migrated from 18mm to 23mm and now these 28mm They seem just as quick as my racing tyres but they are just so much more comfortable on Sydney roads. They are nice and light too. they felt pretty tough putting them on so hopefully they willbe quite puncture resistant. great product so far."

Pros: Durable, Great Value, Rugged, High Quality
"The Panaracer RibMo is still going strong after 2000 km on the nasty highway stretch that forms most of my daily commute. I love this tyre, and it's about as puncture proof as you can get. It rolls well, hardly ever needs inflating ans has made my daily 40km round trip commute a breeze. Ultra reliable and will buy again."

Excellent commuting/touring tyre
Pros: Durable, Great Value, Comfortable, Lightweight
"These tyres are great for commuting without compromising on speed or handling. I bought these after experiencing many punctures with another well known brand touring tyre (6 in a fortnight). I have just replaced the rear RibMo after 12,000 km and only about 2 or 3 punctures over that time. The front tyre is still going strong. As well as being durable these tyres are about 100grams lighter than other touring tyres and are a much nicer ride feeling grippier and more lively and a much lower rolling resistance. I find them best inflated to a pressure of about 80psi, higher than this they feel a bit too hard on uneven, bumpy surface (mine are the 700 x 28c). I strongly recommend these tyres."

Roll like a ball :)
Pros: Durable, Great Value, Rugged, High Quality, Good Fit
"These are insanily great. Rolls like there is no tomorrow. I use them for commuting 20 miles a day on a mixed surface (asfalt and gravel), and they preform much better than my old Schwalbe Marathon (which were also quite good :)
They have a very high profile which makes the tyre run on just a little part of the tyre - hence less friction and more speed.
It is a hard tyre to ride, so if you doesn't like feedback from the bike, buy something else."

The best tyre for commuting
Pros: Durable, High Quality
"had these on throughout the winter months and used for 25 miles a day for commuting in and out of London and not one puncture! Definately worth the money and would recommend for this use. 700x23 were a tight fit but if you dont need to take them off on the side of the road then does it matter?
Not the fastest tyre out there but definately the most robust in my experience."

Panasonic? Great?
Pros: Durable, Great Value, Rugged, High Quality, Good Fit
"I would never have expected Panasonic to make such a quality product. About 2,000 km's of riding on them now and still going strong. I'm keen to buy a Panasonic frame or two now."

Great tyres
Pros: Great Value, Attractive, Comfortable, High Quality, Good Fit
"I haven't used folding tyres before so it was a little weird trying to put them on the wheels but it ended up being pretty easy. They feel great to ride, easy to pedal, alround I think they are awesome."

Great commuting tyre
Pros: High Quality, Rugged
"I have been using 25c Ribmos over winter and have been very pleased with them. They have a nice combination of puncture protection, grip and speed. They're not as fast as race tyres, but with no punctures (apart from a pinch flat due to being lazy about pressure) in 5 months of daily use, I'll take the tradeoff, especially on the variable roads in London. They have much more grip than the gatorskins and armadillos I have tried in the past, especially in the wet. I ride a fixed wheel commuter bike and they have held up well to skid wear as well. They also have pretty tough sidewalls, which is nice after struggling with sidewall cuts in other tyres I have used in the past. Overall, an expensive tyre with a silly name, but an excellent choice for a tough practical city tyre."

impressive
Pros: High Quality, Rugged, Lightweight
"I bought these after suffering through several punctures with the tyres that were put on my "Evil" bike. These are my first foldable tyres and there was a bit of a challenge to put them on, but I wouldn't call it a major problem - using levers, it was just fine.
I haven't used them long enough to comment on puncture resistance, but one thing I noticed is that they roll much better than my Maxxis Detonator tyres. I haven't inflated them to the maximum pressure and I haven't noticed any discomfort in riding, which is something other reviewers mentioned. The grip is excellent, even when the road is wet."

Pros: High Quality, Good Fit
"Bought these to replace standard Conti Sport Contact Tyres on my flat bar roadie. Fitting is really easy, they are my first folding tyre and I'll never go back to standard tyres again. Can't say much about quality as it will take some time to properly test them but, so far so good! They do feel much smoother compared to my previous tyres."

Really great tire
Pros: High Quality, Rugged, Lightweight
"Using Ultra Gatorskins in the past, I read a review on these tires. Never having folding tires, I thought I`d try them. My bike is a touring bike and I liked the idea of being able to take an extra set of tires on a long tour. Upon installation, I noticed there seemed to be more of a thickness in rubber. Also they really seem "sticky" on the road. Low rolling resistance is also a plus. Great tire."

Bulletproof
Pros: Durable, High Quality, Rugged, Good Fit
"Have been using these tires for about 4 months, mostly on decent city bike paths. There has been a lot of construction that has left dirt and small gravel in many areas. The dirt around here has a lot of small flint particles that often result in flat tires. These RibMo tires have held up extremely well and I have had no flats. When inflated to the max allowable pressure, they roll quite well, but are a bit hard riding."
