Amazing how resistance numbers on blah blah dot com, marketing from Conti and tire sellers, and opinions from all y'all on the forums have convinced me to ignore my butt and believe. But I do, man, I really do. Ain't capitalism grand?

I love the life this thread has taken even though we have convinced
