I just received my new tires. They ride really well. The ride is a little bit harsher because they are narrower tires at 130psi (vs my old wider tires at 80psi). Based off of a 12 mile ride that I just did, I can say the following: I am able to go 14-16mph on my new tires in places where I could do 12-14mph on my old tires. And I'm able to do 10mph on the new tires when I would have been able to do 6mph on my old tires (when climbing a hill). I'm tempted to go back up to Boulder, CO just to do the 1.3mi hill with a descent of 450ft. On my old tires, I hit 41mph on that hill. I wonder how fast I'd be able to go with my new tires.

Anyway, here are some pics.
