They are shocking.
I've heard the Pythons are bad for punctures and wear out quick, but they supposed to be nice to ride apart for that. I'd like to give'em a try but there like $80-90 each which is a bit over the top considering my MTB will do a couple of trips on the road a week.
I found larsons not predictable at all. I start to push them around corners, next think I know I'm lying on the ground next to my bike. Heaps of guys swear by them.
