A little over a year ago, I made a few statements comparing tires based on theory. I was wrong.
http://groups.google.com/group/rbw-owners-bunch/msg/ca91f41f70f6d57a I now have a few hundred miles on a pair of 584X32mm (actual 30mm) Grand Bois Cypres tires (same wheels, bicycle, etc.) and can positively say, with back to back comparison, that there is a noticeable difference in feel between the similar Maxy Fasty tires. The most accurate comparison I can provide is: The Maxy Fasty's feel like riding over suede whereas the Cypres' feel like riding over velvet. Of course, the Cypres' lighter casing and thinner tread is a trade off for durability. That analysis is for each rider to determine on their own. For me, that means riding the MF's for utility, errands, commuting, and shorter rides; and saving the Cypres for my longer, weekend rides. Just wanted to set the record straight and acknowledge my previous error.
