Bridgestone s11 Spitfires stick great, seem to last forever and are cheaper than some of the stuff from Taiwan. Fronts run you $53 and rears $58 at AMT. The Lastetecs are really spendy. I found them to wear fast and not be particularly better handling than any other modern tires. Also, they seem to be prone to rain groove wobble, at least what I ran before.

He explained in detail how the Metzelers are supposedly very sensitive to underinflation and recommended to run them above 40 PSI pressure ( I run 38 PSI on the rear) He was very convincing and supported his arguments with illustrations on paper. Excellent service.

That's not out of the ordinary

Imagine you riding a bike with an Earls fork all over the country, you would write weird stuff also
