My thoughts at the moment are unless someone can put out a tire that is either lighter than the Ares or has a better rolling profile/sidewall, it will be very hard to switch off of Ares Kevlar. Those tires are king in my book and aside from a few reliability issues (like blowing off the rim), why would anyone take a gamble on either these Eclat or Heresy? I love heresy as a brand and have mad respect for Eclat, but am not sure that I’m thirsting to try their new tires. Perhaps if they get a team going or some sponsored riders to rep the tires I tried the Heresy ones after a year with the Ares and i like them very much.My only concern is if they will last as long.If they do they are my main tire.So far i like them more than the Ares.I m not a Heresy fanboy in any way,i ve done some bad reviews about some of their products as i have tried a lot of them (and i really have respect for them for designing original flat specific products in these hard times for flatland,i know how hard it is to design a new part and not just rebrand a generic Taiwanese oem one).The Heresy tire is top,so are the Heresy Arrow pedals,beasts.Also the 0/15 offset fork,great for someone who wants to try both geometries without buying 2 forks.What do you like about the heresy tires over the Ares?I ve written a mini review if you search for Zephyr,but in a few words they are rounder and the threads give better grip for your shoe.Also the price.

...aside from a few reliability issues (like blowing off the rim)...
I am a bit skeptic because Eclat has nothing to do with flatland and this really looks to me like a slim park tire.Maybe they are targeting the street/flat ''new school'' kind of people who are not really that into flat geometries and technical stuff and just ride flat with a street bike.This looks to me more likely
the Heresy is 110psi so be careful!
Damn it, sorry to hear that! After some tires exploding in my flat (of course during the night) I started to release pressure to about 6 bar (about 85 psi) after every session. I wanted to be sure to have the right pressure and pumped the tires before the session anyway, so the only difference is that I need to pump a bit longer... So the risk of an exploding tire is much less because it only needs to withstand the high pressure in a fraction of its lifetime. Did you try this?
