Well the new tires don't feel any faster or more comfortable or any of the other things they're supposed to feel like. They did feel a bit awkward going into the first few corners, like they didn't want to lean into it, but three minutes later I forgot about it and they worked just fine.
And in what proved to be an absolute shocker, someone complemented my shoes. He also complemented the gumwall tires though, which the Hot or Not thread has taught me are not Hot at all, so maybe he just has poor taste.
