These are the
Soma Supple Vitesse EX. Ran them with the Aerothan tubes last year over a 750km tour and have done about 1600km (
1000miles) in total on them according to Strava. They offer a very smooth ride that is generally without issues and ride well over some very rough terrain as well.
I did flat both tyres in France because of glass on the road and the threading on the rear tyre is now smooth and getting thinner. The sidewalls are starting to unravel as well so I ordered a
Soma Shikoro for the rear to replace it with a similar tyre with a little bit of anti-puntcture protection.
The smooth valve stems on the Aerothan's are annoying to inflate but once you get the first bit of air in they inflate just fine. And you can fix them with the
Park Tool GP-2 patch kit.
