I wonder what the point of this tire is? I can't imagine any seasoned rider is going to give these guys a whirl for 120 canadian when that's within striking distance of whatever that riders preferred tires are among established premium options from maxxis, schwable, continental, etc.
I think my cutoff point for "try a new tire" is 100 bucks. I was pleasantly surprised trying the Vittoria options at the retail of 99. I'd be willing to give those delium tires a whirl when I run low on other stuff at their price. But at 120 bucks, I'm reaching for the extra 20 in my wallet and getting what I know I'm going to be happy with.
It sounds like they ride really similar to the cheap, wire bead magic Mary which is actually a great tire in the loose and dusty interior, for about half the price. So what's the deal, Goodyear?
