They seem to roll more easily and they are definitely more comfortable. I haven't encountered any down side yet.
We have 3 of our mountain bikes in our stable that use the UST system and I have to agree that it works great. Problem is that the tires no longer seem to be made, and that early standard has been abandoned.
