Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Excellent and discontinued, although if you search around you may still be able to find a pair.

Have they released a similar replacement tire? Why were they discontinued if they were so great?

Wanted to get some, but couldn't find them anywhere for good price.
Ended up going with Continental GP4000s from PBK. Pretty happy with those.

Unless you are badly in need of tires, wait until they become available again.

Why'd they take CHiPs off the air?

Ordered some from BikeTiresDirect a couple of weeks ago. Seem decent, but I honestly can't tell any difference between the Krylions and the Continental Ultra Gatorskins they replaced...
