[RBW] Re: new tires for my Homer

Alan, I've run the Cazaderos, albeit in a 700x50 blend, and absolutely love them. Durable, but roll better than they have any right to considering the knobs. Surprisingly little road noise, and they're great on dirt or gravel. I've also been very happy with my WTB Horizons. They're not as suppl
