I bought these tires to have a light fast alternative to knobby tires for a long distance road race on fat bikes. I specifically ordered these because they advertise a lightweight 1080gr tire with 120 TPI casing. The tires showed up with confusing contradictory packaging showing 60 TPI. I weighed the tires and they are 1380gr each. That is almost an extra pound and a half over the advertised weight! This also makes me also believe that they are not a 120 TPI casing.
I mounted them up and they do roll pretty fast, but the extra 1.5 pounds isn't going to help when I hit the hill climb section of the race! I am pretty disappointed to specifically seek something out for its specs, and order it only to receive something that is very different than claimed. Not sure what is happening at Origin 8 and Vee tire!

Quiet, fast rolling tire. Great for paved or hard pack surfaces.

Easy rolling and still provide a nice grip on the road! Get them!
