I really like the mondials. These are the 700c x 47, but to my eye (haven't measured) they seem narrower than the 700c x 45 bitumens that came with the bike. I've been riding these mondials for a couple years, I think. I don't put in that many miles, but they have barely worn. I get flats with these, but not as many as with other tires (smart sams, others). I tend to ride in areas with thorns.
One time I had switched to another pair of tires (not schwalbe) and was going down my home hill. The light turned red, and I discovered that I was not going to be able to stop before the light. The tires I was riding were just not as sticky as my mondials. I had to make an emergency right at the light to avoid going into the intersection. I got rid of those tires and went back to the mondials. It was a very good reminder that not all tires perform the same and that it's best to go slow on unfamiliar tires.
