I envy you your mainly positive experience. I just could not get past the-for me-extremely slippery nature of the tires. I couldn't do anything without one tire (or both) slipping. It was like walking on ice while wearing slick sole shoes. Doing any quick maneuver one does on any garden variety ride was beyond me. FWIW I have good balance, and am a competent rider. Maybe I got some sort of ultra slippery tire! In any event, I still have the 16" Nu-Teck on my BOB trailer. Please keep us posted on your experiences, Nashcommguy.
