The Armadillo was one of the first durably built, road-oriented tires that could still deliver some performance despite the advanced puncture protection and weight. It quickly became a favorite of fast commuters and cyclists who often trained on chip seal roads, hard pack dirt, paths, and in urban environments. The Armadillo protection belt basically eliminates flats and the sidewalls can take a beating.

With the All Conditions version, this wire bead tire gets a tread pattern that rolls fast and can handle serious water. The 60a rubber compound ensures grip wet or dry surfaces and the tread can also help you keep a line in soft material. Commuters have raved about 3000+ miles on terrible urban roads. That's a lot of trips for most people, with plenty of potholes and debris along the way.
