Are you or have you been able to feel the difference when you ride on new high(er) quality tires - compared to old / worn or lower quality tires ?
You've been riding a long time - you have a Lynskey and a 5200 Trek - and an old Paramount ... do you have experience with tubular tires ?
Or back in the day - experience with Michelin Super Comp HD or Vittoria Corsa Open CX (or whatever that tire was) - compared to a low cost OEM tire ?
Few upgrades will improve the feel and performance of a bike than a tire upgrade - and without knowing the price of the tire lol
