I quite like the idea but since they are sold as a MTB racing tire they have removed features and charged a higher price. In Italian this is spelled "superleggera", in Scroogish it's spelled "stupid"
Lol. While I hadn't heard of it, I personally don't recommend any tires to anyone that don't have flat protection. Even in my broke college days I didn't think it was worth money savings to deal with several times more flats, and that hasn't changed. The only scenario's I find it worth it are if someone is actually racing on a race course, or perhaps if they use a tire liner though I personally think having it built into the tire is better.
