I bought these a few years ago as the cheapest way to get a little speed for my first triathlon, and have kept them on my now single-speed commuter bike. These are the only suspension on my solid MTB frame, and do a nice job. I don't know how many miles I've got on them (no computer, still) but they've lasted very nicely. They're pretty smooth, but I'll be going even slicker for my next pair. I've had no flats until just recently when I got two close together, so I think they're starting to go.
There are definitely faster MTB slicks you can buy (Conti Sport Contact looks like a good upgrade), but for half the price give these a shot if you're thinking you want to try slicks. It beats buying a whle new bike - a weaker hybrid or a fragile road bike - for your commute if you've already got a MTB.Get more detail about Kenda K838 Slick Wire Bead Bicycle Tire, Blackwall, 26-Inch x 1.95-Inch.
