I thought the world of them, too. Only tires I've ever seen that acquired their siping via OJT: they'd develop a tread cut at the sight of a glass shard, but never seemed to flat for that reason. Worth every penny of the $50 each they cost, even though they only lasted 1,000 miles. > I wouldn't buy anything else.

I just mounted the last of the Pro2Race I bought in a group buy organzied on one of the forums a few years ago. They were around $25 each, and came from Belgium. Quite a deal, and they seem to really last a long time. Of course, they don't look as nice as the old Supercomp HD... > > <Although, if you really want to experience some serious hammering, > inflate your 25s up to 120 and go ride a rough road.> > > No thanks!
