I'll warn you that I did replace them because a bubble formed in the center of the tire mid ride and then about 10 minutes later the tire ripped and the tube experienced some explosive decompression. I almost went down. This was after about 1200 miles on them.


And I run them around 95-105 psi, so unless you're way over 200 lbs, you're probably running too high of pressure
