As mentioned before I am amazed at the ride of the JCH. I do not want to lose that ride but, the gumwall tires are very old and dry and the side walls are peeling so I know it won't be long. I would like to tap the minds and experience of the forum for the right tires to keep this bike riding like a luxury car. One of my Raleighs has Delta Cruisers and the other has the original Daytons and they both ride very well. With that said the Higgins is better on dry cracked peeling tires. Here is the situation. I am 63. I ride upright. Usually 10 miles or less at 9-12 mph on good surface. What do I want for smooth? Thanks!
