Well I wasn't going to resurrect a dead thread but.....
I pulled the trigger on the Forte Versa Trac/K last night. I ordered them from Amazon.com though, since they are local and also since I had a couple of bucks from an old gift cert. Their shipping was cheaper, too. Got two tires shipped to my house for $27.30. Not bad for $22 in tires. I got the ones with Kevlar so that I won't get so many flats hopefully.
The problem got worse when last night I went to check on my bike, and BOTH tires were flat! One had a huge puncture in the tube, with *nothing* to show for it in the tire casing. I also checked and it was NOT a pinch flat or a problem with the rim strip. *Most Definitely* time for new tires
