Thanks, Rich.
Yeah, it just dawned on me the fact why should I have two tires of the same kind, if I could combine the best of both worlds: Gators & Armadillos (sounds like strange bed fellows, doesn't it?)
My overall flat experiences have ALWAYS been the rear tire (the *****y one because of the chain), maybe because of my riding style, I'm always checkin the road ahead - what's coming on to me, almost always I hop over spotted pavement problems, but the rear gets to go over what the front got over.
I'll keep it posted how it worked out.
