Don't want to steal the thread but I'm planning a 5 day credit card tour with this bike and wondering anyones experience using these four touring, 60 miles per day. Some say they have high rolling resistance due to their weight.
Hi prxmid,
SMP tires actually have quite low rolling resistance. That said, they can feel slow because of their weight. A relatively heavy tire takes more effort to spin up, but once you get them going, they should roll fine.
