These tires are not good for any bicycle. I bought a pair and they broke in about a year.

These tires are not good quality tires at all. Do not buy them.

They have their place. Usually, saving weight makes you faster but you sacrafice durability. Pick your battles. Get a flat in the front and that easily installable tire may give you big problems. All this said, I use them, sometimes.
