I'm currently running a Durano Plus Etape as a rear wheel due to a blowout on the way to work last week and I needed a tyre quickly. It runs pretty fast but is heavy due to the massive amount of puncture protection it has. Biggest problem for me though is it's grip. It grips to the tarmac so much that the tyre has managed to move around the rim bit by bit when I've done some hard skids on it.
You can hear it happen too. It sounds like an old car with worn drum brakes screeching.
