I don't know. I was seriously coasting. I wasn't going fast at all, I missed by turn by 8 feet, made the turn and before I knew it, I was on the ground. It's always such a shock to crash like, "wtf just happened?" I'm still trying to figure out what I did wrong, so I can avoid the same mistake in the future. It might have been too sharp of a turn, but I had no idea. It happened so fast. No skid, though. Just fall. Haha...With my other tires, I feel like I can tell when I'm turning to sharp. Maybe these cross tires are so fluffy that I didn't get that warning feedback. Anyways, yea...I think I could make do with them. I figure they're at least half road tires, right? I've been warned away from them like it'd ruined my bike before, so I was just asking why no one rides knobbies.
