Based on everything I have read, Challenge tires have excellent components and craftsmanship. If you only ride on pavement, the tread at most establishes trade dress. Here's my experience with the Challenge tire: Had my first flat (slow leak due to road grit) at 785 miles on the rear tire. Put a kevlar liner on the rear and have ridden an additional 572 miles without a flat on either tire. All miles, except for 8 miles of gravel roads, were on paved, although at time, roughly paved roads. The tread on both tires still looks excellent. In my opinion, the Challenge tire is the best tire I have ever ridden on. It's unbelievably comfortable, fast, and the durability, admittedly after only 1357 miles, is acceptable.
