Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
I have been using Rubino Pros for almost 10 years. I live in New Mexico where people recycle glass by throwing their long neck beer bottles out the windows of their pickup trucks. These tires are the most puncture-resistant light weight tires that I have used. While not puncture proof, they beat every other brand that I have tried. I especially like to use them in centuries and triathlons. In over 50 triathlons where I have ridden Rubino Pros, including 3 half-Ironmans and 2 Ironmans, I have never had a puncture, yet at 230 grams per tire, they are almost as light as the lighest racing clinchers.
