Anyone used these tyres?

I don't suppose anyone's used these tyres before: Giant Sycamore 700x50? They seem very cheap compared to the more 'niche' brands out there.

I can't comment on those but I do run Giant Crosscut 700 x 45 on my commuter, they appear quite similar although folding, not wire, bead. My commute is a mix of rural roads and fireroads; they roll well and seem to be lasting well.
Giant are a big company and their prices can be quite reasonable for a lot of things. My guess is that those sycamores are maybe a harder compound to keep the price-point low.

Thanks for that
