Thought I saw my name

Yeah. I got 3 flats in 50 blocks riding home on a dry night, all 3 pinches -- two on the front! I'm admittedly a big guy (195 or so) but I've never, EVER had pinches like that. The odd part is I ran them 50mi RT into Jersey, no problems. .. but no potholes on that route. Rims are taped well, and the insides of the tires are clean of debris. Just tiny little snakebites (less than 1/8") each time.

The tires, when they're not flat ride very nicely -- good grip, and take 110psi with no problems.

I've had -zero- problems with either the Michelin Carbons or Axises on my beater -- plenty of skipping and pothole banging, but they're clearly a wider section (maybe 25mm even though they're marked 23mm) than the Fortezzas, which are a skinny 23.
