I doubt many are running them at all, they have next to no grip and a super thin carcass so unless you're riding a very hard packed fire road with no thorns they're not going to last a ride. A friend of mine tried them last summer, the front lasted a full days riding but he said it was like riding with a slick tyre! The back had 2 flats and tore the sidewall, and this was riding nothing very challenging in the Surrey Hills.
