Dammit. I can't find them anywhere...sniff....Bwwaaaa! I might have to try the 2.25's... Or just say screw it and get some Maxxis crossmarks. .. Seriously sad... How come it always goes like that? You finally find something that works real well, and they discontinue it? Like the original paperwall Fisher Fat Track and Specialized Hard pack tires... Great tires with vulnerable sidewalls, but they rode so nice...
