Excellent  michaelbranfield, ALEXANDRA HEADLAND
Geez some of these reviewers must be weak as. I had no worries putting this tyre on. Very happy with it. Great grip in the dry and wet. What a cheap price. Excellent

Well worth buying  ShaneW, Auckland
I bought one to try it out, and have to say I'm very happy with it. It was slightly tight getting on a Mavic rim, but anyone with half decent biceps should have no problem. You won't be taking it off very often, it's a tough puppy, no punctures for me yet. It also grips the road well in both wet and dry conditions.

Solid but Incredibly Tight Fit  RodneyL, Perth
Once on the they feel very stable to ride, but the fit! It's a great price but I've squandered any savings through pinching tubes. Even leaving out in the sun is little help (this is on a set of Mavic Aksiums). It's a shame, would not put myself through this again.

Hard to fit  LenHall, Henley Brook
I have just fitted a pair of these tyres and I have been doing it for years but this time I just had to use tyre levers as the fit was tight on Mavic rims.
Here is a tip always carry a toe strap to hold the tyre to the rim at one point whilst you work the bead into the rim. Or it could be a two man job if you have a puncture. I shall buy them again though.

I have to agree  AndyThomson, Palmerston North
I had no problems putting these tyres on and did not need tyre levers. Overall a good product and better than paying $80 for other "puncture proof" tyres. Broken glass is a bit over a problem esp on Mon and Thur morning.

Good tyres  NikJones, Christchurch
I had no trouble installing these tyres. I have done 500km on my set and just got a puncture today. To be fair I wouldn't expect ANY tyre to stand up to a two inch nail though...

Puncture Proof  BenjaminWithy, Auckland
Replaced a worn Armadillo with one of these. They ride well and I haven't had a puncture in over 3 months of commuting.

Flat  CameronNilsson-Linne, HAMILTON HILL
Got a flat in the first 5kms after fitting the tyre (piece of glass), and then pinched a tube putting the stiff tyre back on. Hopefully my "puncture proof" experience improves from here!

Stoked  AidanIrving, Melbourne
I live in the northern suburbs of melbourne. Unfortunately there are a lot of jerks who like to leave glass and similar all over the road.

Before these tyres I was having regular punctures. The Innovas seem imprevious to glass shards.

Only downside is they are a tight fight, but worth the effort.

Awesome!!!  JohnPantel, Como
Went from hybrid to road bike and got 3 flats in first 2 weeks, so thought I would give these a go and haven't had a flatty yet. Really tight to put on, but once they're on they look and feel great and would highly recommend them for those who hate being stuck on the side of the road having to fix a flatty!!

Great tyres  simonrichardson, Invercargill
Very hard to fit but once on, mine have held 100lbs of pressure no problem and I'm pretty sure that I would have had a puncture by now with the average amount of use I have put onto these. So I am going to buy a couple more now for my wife's bike!!

Road Tyres  ThomasFlannagan, Greymouth
I have been for one ride on this new tyre, no complaints there. I had to ride over some very rough road works. No punctures.

However I wouldn't want to have to fix a puncture while out on the road as the tyre is very tight on the rims and I needed tyre levers to put back on.

Innova Road Tyre  TimLogan, Hataitai
Very pleased with this tyre. First fit onto rim was quite tight - just like any new tyre. It helps to wipe the inside of the tyre and the bead with talc.

So far so good!  NicholasTollemache, Wellington
I don't know how puncture proof these are but so far so good! They ride well in the dry and have reasonable wet grip too. I would recommend them to anyone for travel to work etc.

Great Value  MarkHall, Awakeri
Tyre was quite easy to fit and didn't require the levers just thumbs pushing from the opposite direction so plesently surprised. Good robust tyre with no issues to date. Thanks Torpedo
