Normally I would, but I'm returning a defective tire to Specialized under warranty for replacement. Going to ask they they replace it with one of these two. Thanks.

Raiyn, thanks. My current set was a pair of Crossroads (returning one of them). This week I'm riding with the crossroads on the rear and the Hemisphere on the front. I'm kinda wondering if there is any rolling difference between the two? Crossroads has that continuous center tread and I have it pumped to about 45psi which seems pretty stiff. But it still has the knobbys so not sure if they make much contact with the road or not.
