Why would you skid a lot? You realize the "fixie" points you are earning aren't real and don't get you anything. The novelty comb is a lie.

It is all well and good if you are doing some tricks at your local bike/skate park or on an actual track but for commuting and general street riding being able to brake and stop more safely in a very unpredictable environment is better. Wasting money buying tires over and over again because you skidded through them is stupid. I would rather spend that money on better bike parts or more importantly food, bills and Premium Rush DVDs.

You want good tires for the street, get some Continental Gatorskins (or Gator hardshells) and stop skidding. Otherwise take the money from your wallet and flush it down the toilet, it is less work than replacing all those tires and tubes because you prematurely wore them out.
