The Fotre and Nashbar tires are the same tires. The slicks re eh same and the metro tires are the same and the nashbar streetwise tires. I haven't mounted the streetwise tires yet (I didn't spend the extra for kevlar), but I like the look of them and nice lightweight etc.
Would you like closeup pics of an inflated slick tire (its a couple year old, bt not lots of miles) or an unmounted one thats brand new?
