I guess I am in luck then. I have a friend that has a set of Armadillos that he doesn't care for. One of the reasons was as someone else posted, speed. I can try the Armadillos and see if they work for me and then make up my mind if they would work. I plan on getting new tires before February and figured some in here had tried these tires. I have even considered slicks but I have read the cut easily.
