Are the Lithions as good, I've got my last pair of Krylions on the winter bike at the moment?
The lithions whilst ok aren't as good rolling or robust. The rebadged Krylions are the Pro4 Endurance.
I was a fan of the Krylions and thought that the Lithions would be rubbish, being available at virtually half the price. In fact, I was very pleasantly surprised and so have several other riders I know who tried them after I started using them.
I think I only got a couple of punctures in my last 4,000 miles of cycling and one of those was because I hadn't noticed that the tyre was worn out. (It was a rear tyre and most of it was hidden by a mudguard.) The other was caused by a big shard of glass which would have defeated most tyres.
They grip well. (I haven't skidded in thousands of miles of using them in dry and wet conditions.)
They wear pretty well.
They are comfortable enough if you choose sensible tyre pressures.
I haven't noticed them feeling particularly sluggish. I couldn't tell you how they compare to the very best tyres, but unlike other cheap tyres that I have used, I never found myself thinking that they felt like hard work.
They are cheap. Why not try a pair? You might end up a convert like me and my pals.
