I'd worry about the supple sidewalls rather than the tread. My plan is to use them for events or times when I want to maximize performance, and use Hetres everyday.
All this being said, the old reliable CdlV is a great all-around tire, and it will fit the Riv 650B bikes and most conversions no problem. I wonder why Grand Bois backed off the 38mm Hetre. It would have sold well - long wear, very fast, comfortable ride, and the colors! Esteban San Diego, Calif.
