Fair. I'm still not persuaded that "everybody does it" is a good enough reason to not post the bikes/spec in question here, but I'll move on. I also get the balance companies are trying to strike between cost and performance, so on that note, would be interesting to know the OE costs on some of these tires. I bet a high-end Maxxis can be had for about $30 and for $10 at the low-end. Thanks for your reply.
