Well you probably do not want to buy a set of Pari-Motos. >From the posts Kirk wrote on the 650 forum it seemed pretty clear to me he did not mean the tire for off road use. (mine have still not arrived so I cannot opine, but I see where James says his are very soft). Kirk has an off road tire already. As far as I can tell, this tire is intended for riding fast however relatively speaking on pavement. Finally, as best I know, I imagine there were a lot of other things Kirk could have done with time to make money than putting together this tires. It is a tad harsh to suggest anyone is trying to build marketing hype around something that may not do much more than break even.
