Well I like'em. They were cheap (≈22 € from Bike-Discount), light (<220 g) and it feels that they roll as well as 23 mm tyres while the ride is softer (I use ≈6 bar front/≈6.5 bar rear). As for puncture resistance, I've had only one flat so far (after a gravel/offroad session :o ) Luck perhaps, as especially the sidewalls are THIN. Probably a few proper skids would annihilate that rear Ultremo. Then again I prefer the front brake in purposes of slowing/stopping and anyway I swapped a 28 mm Durano to rear in case I should ride this bike during winter.
