Yes they are great if you are looking for a gravel tyre but want to do a-lot of road riding with it. Not as wide as the Dot's with much less volume and you will at first feel a bit less grip on the rear than what you are used to with the Dot's, but they will not fail you and they are faaast and tuff and have a very nice ride feel!! So go get them! The Dot's are 'n great idea and would be excellent if the quality and durability were better. But to struggle with small cuts after and during nearly every ride along with the bubbles / bulges became an absolute pain. Here where I live and love to cycle 100km + loops in Centurion & Voortrekker Hoogte area are a-lot of small pieces of glass in the roads and on the sides. The Pathfinder Pro's simply crushes the glass, but the Dot's would swallow them and the glass will sit in the tyre and slowly cut through. At least once per week I had to remove a Dot and patch it from the inside - even the smallest of punctures would become big problems - even after trying tubeless repair plugs it would not seal and seemed as if the holes just got ripped wider. Too soft a rubber? Perhaps. They are not worth R550 - even my much cheaper R250 Chaoyang semi-slick tyres are more robust and gave much less problems than these Dot's I then started talking to some shops and riders about this and the guys at the Specialized store in Centurion said yes, there are lots of glass on the roads, but they have never seen or experienced failure feedback from clients like what I had with the Dot's and advised me to try the Pathfinder's. So happy I did and I guess my money wasted with Farr on their tyres became school fees and taught me to rather stick with reliable brand names.
