i have had a pair of all condition armadillos and i hate them. had them on a really shitty, stiff and heavy pair of hybrid wheels that came with my first bike (an 80's condor audax). this combination can loosen my headset straightaway if i run over a pothole and feels like a punch in the bollocks.
absolutely bulletproof, have ridden them in the snow even, don't know why i did that.
for all i do i'm never going to buy anything made by specialized...
i picked up a used blizzard from a skip a while ago, the whole tread was flat when i picked it up but i'm still using it and never had a puncture. rides much better than the armadillos too.
