Mark, No offense intended at all, but I cannot see myself doing that on my bikes. I'd rather go to a smaller sized tire if needed. While my sense of esthetics on my bikes is very high, I cannot say the same for my sense of telling apart different tires. I thought my Betty rode wonderfully with the original basic Marathon tires that were thinner, and while I love how it rides on the Hetres, I'm not sure I can tell them apart. Maybe I could if I rode them side by side, but I think it would be a tough call for me. The little irregularities on my fender lines, on the other hand, can drive me crazy if I let them. I don't usually, but they can...
For now, the main reason I want to keep the Hetres on is for their looks! Perhaps over time I'll learn to distinguish the subtleties of how different tires ride, but for now I marvel at how they feel just at different air pressures... if I really pay attention. Still, you found a good way to solve your problem and I'm glad you like it. Smitty, what is the name of that green color on your wife's Betty? I love it!!!
