5000+ posts and you don't know this is the answer? I changed over from Vredestein Fortezza's and the difference is noticable. Smoother riding, great road feel and just overall confidence that you've got a reliable tire on the pavement. The only strange thing I found was that in a moderate to hard corner, the tire kind of "sings". For the first several rides I kept checking out my brakes and making sure my quick releases were tight, as I though the noise was coming from a brake rub...but then I read somewhere online that when you lean the tire a bit it makes a little noise...maybe the tread pattern on each side of center.

And yes, the search function sucks.
