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.
I HATED my Crossroads in rain. I found that the ceter section slipped way too easily. In fact I made the switch to the Nimbus tires after I nearly layed the bike down in the middle of a busy intersection. The one I have left is collecting dust for now.
