Hi Mike,

Can I ask what you have found is your gain in speed (in MPH)?

Don't they feel awfully stiff and "jolt-y" when you hit a bump?

don't get flat (2700 miles, no flats). They also last a long time and still
going strong. The psi can be adjusted to your liking, up to 145 lbs. I like to
ride far from home and need a good reliable tire, especially with the bad roads
and broken glass that seems to be everywhere.

it. Yes, the ride is a big more rough, but I think the trade-off is worth it to
gain some speed. I only really notice it if I'm on a rough trail, hit a pothole,
etc. My trike is not only faster, but a lot more nimble. I can go about as fast
I can on my upright hybrid bike, which means I can also keep up with my family
when we ride together. For me, it's worth the trade off.
