I haven't eliminated them, as a matter of fact, I'm having a hard time rationalizing why I don't use them. I've read others noting that they are a good tire. I am fortunate enough to have found a 89 Miyata 1000LT that I am in the process of restoring. It is mostly original so I wanted to try and make it a modern, safe, roadworthy bike and still honor the heretage. It was a high-end bike in the day so I felt it deserved high-end tires. Unfortunately, I'm on a tight budget.
