New tires... Holy hell
04/16/16 1:21 PM

So, I've bought new tires for bikes before, but going to the 55 profile on the 14 is ridiculous!. I knew it wss going to corner a little better... But I almost can't ride a straight damn line.

Can't wait to get them scrubbed in so I can really go play.

For $300 I got a new bike's. Only this is, how much easier will it be to break the backend loose on a full power pull?

I assure you, you will have no problem breaking the rear tire loose with the TC off with a 55 profile or a 50 profile. If you get your body position correct the bike should be a bit more upright when you put the meat to her ...

After the last couple days I'm loving these Rosso IIs. Turn in and lightness is just insane! I think these are the lightest steering tires I've had on there. My earlier impressions (don't recall if I stated here) weren't that good but temps were cooler also obviously starting off the season. After a couple days in the upper 60s and low 70s, I am in love with these tires!

What really has blown my mind is feedback. It's nearly like reading brail, the front is so communicative. Running over some road seems I could feel the jagged edges I saw moments before. I mean I literally could feel what I saw I'd be rollling over. Just crazy feedback.

I would've put Rosso IIIs on here but when I ordered tires they hadn't come out yet. But I don't mind, these tires are rock'n!
