the tourguards are the ones he suggested and originally ordered for me.

if the kwiktraks don't work out, i may try the tourguards, but, i'll tell him he'll have to do a lot better than the 45 bucks he was going to charge or i'll order them online.

the main thing i don't like about the kwiktraks is they have quite a bit of tread all the way around. according to sheldon, tread on the road is good for just two things slowing you down and picking up crap. i tend to agree.
