Well put. I guess that's my attitude, but I never thought to put it that way. I don't get it with people who feel getting a flat is an affront to their existences. I like nice tires, and I won't apologize for that.

Best laugh I had all day. Thanks, Jim.
Though being a Panaracer and Vittoria fan mostly, I just installed some used Continental tires on a bike that I'm selling, and damn, I'm impressed. They seem like they'll be durable beyond anything, though I'm only guessing.
