None taken. The funny thing is, I looked at my front tire this morning as I was airing up and I thought to myself, "I haven't really inspected my tires too closely lately..... maybe I should do that". This is the downside of having a fully fendered bike, outta sight, outta mind. On my racing bikes this never would have happened as I would have noticed that the contact patch had totally flattened out and the tires would have been switched out long ago. To the tires' credit, one of the reasons I hadn't taken much time to inspect them is I've never had a flat on this pair. My 1st flat (especially on rear tire) is my "better check the tires" barometer. Since that never happened with these tires I was lulled into a sense of complacency. But yeah, it was an especially boneheaded inattention to detail on my part.

Product Research........ hmmmmm spin doctors are busy at work now.
