I have some serfa tires but they feel much larger than 1.5" and I bought them for winter riding. Been getting warm and I have been itching to get something that will get me moving faster! I plan on holding onto the Serfa tires for winter riding since they have some tread and feel pretty stable.
Will report back once I get some miles on the Tom Slicks I hope will be in sometime this week!
Keep Cycling!
I commute about 4000 miles a year and have used the Tom Slicks for years on my Mavic wheels. I change the back twice a year and the front once a year. I run tuffy liners on both but not sure if they really help.... probably more a peace of mind trick cuz I do get flats eventually. I use flats as my gauge to get a new tire. When I flat two or more times in a week, then I get a new tire. Very scientific
