I'm curious because I have a 2010 Muirwoods and will need to change the tires out soon.
Still have it.
The Big Apples have been great - not the fastest or lightest tires, but they (along with the Brooks Saddle) add tremendously to the overall comfort level. Reliable too - just got a flat this week for the first time. I sometimes, wish it was a little lighter off of lights in the city, but I often use it for long rides along the rivers here in Kanagawa and, for that, it`s perfect. Once up to speed, it doesn`t want to stop and miles pass by with little effort. It handles gravel pretty well too.
