There is now a small but visible "skid patch" on that rear tire.
The Schwalbe's seem to be made for grip, and I really like the road feel I get from them. I can't see getting excessive mileage out of them tho...
Yeah, the Luganos do have some grip to them but I won't be purchasing the same tires ever, unless I can get the Luganos really cheap. I currently don't do any racing. I need to find out if there are any races going on within the area I live at. Maybe then will I purchase race tires.
