By the way, I currently run Performance kevlars, and have been really impressed with them. I've only had like one flat in the past 4 or 5 months (commuting daily), whereas I used to get them several times a month with other tires I've used (including the Armadillos). And I only paid something like $13 each for them, when they were on sale. Go figure.
Yeah, they are really good, but I hate the yellow sidewalls. They don't look good when they are new and then they get dirty. I'm not sure how good they are for skidding/skipping as I have just started doing that.
