You give confidence to the insecure. Good man.

Hehehe ... that’s why I share these videos. One can learn from successes, but failures are a better teacher.

Yep. These have been my tires of choice since they appear to have the best value balanced with good performance and wear characteristics.

I know I mentioned that I wanted to try Continental Road Attack tires and may do that after both of these wear out. I still have life in the Dunlop front tires and wanted to match the rear.
