Both my partner and I have been riding them since mid-summer and they are holding up fine. You just have to realize what you're getting with these tires. The emphasis is on performance, so don't expect them to last as long, or be as puncture resistant as a Conti Top Touring, or Schwalbe Marathon Plus. I'm psyched to have a true high performance tire available in a fat size. Expect them to be as durable (or fragile) as any other similarly (ie. high performance race) constructed tire. I wouldn't use 'em for commuting or touring, but if you're looking for a super comfy, truly high performance tire, they are tops!
