What exactly did they used to be? Rock hard tires that had such still sidewalls that they would practically ride flat? They were never grippy tires. They always rode like garden hoses. They were really only good for flat protection-- not performance.

This morning was the first time I rode in a steady rain with these tires. They tend to loose traction easily especially on the turns. The back end of the bike tends to skid.
Just wanted to give other riders a heads up! These tires 'aint what they used to be'
