Great tubeless tire

I've been using Hutchinson tubeless tires on my Trek Domane 5.9 for several years. I usually road bike several times a week, averaging 25-35 miles. I've had much better luck with the Hutchinson Intensive II than the Fusion. I used to get flat spots because the little rocks or glass on the sidewalk actually ripped a hole and needed a strip of bacon or two to fix. Changing a tire has always been an event anyway. Hutchinson tires are difficult to mount on my rims, especially in winter when the tires are colder. I have used Maxxis DHF and DHR II on my Evil for Mountain bike and I really like these tires. I decided to try Maxxis for my road bike tires and ordered a set of these Padrones. These tires are easy to mount! The installation was a real pleasure! Especially since I'm used to having to use X swear words when fitting Hutchinson tires. They just showed up and suddenly I was done! No oath! I've been running these tires for a few months now and am impressed with them too. You drive great. The role is smooth. Excellent traction. no apartments at all! I found a new Go To tire for my road bike! Featured!
