These have more in common with the Rekon or Ardent Race than Rekon Race. (As an aside, I want to try the Rekon Race a bit more next summer. My running hypothesis is that as a rear tire, you're not losing much in traction, and it's significantly faster rolling. But I don't have much to back that up beyond very limited riding.)
I've got a set of Syerras, I'll try them again here. And they're not dissimilar to the Macro, but if memory serves the compound is.... hard. I hear you on softer compounds, but the challenge for manufacturers is that the tiny knobs just get removed very rapidly if they're soft. And you lose some of the rolling resistance.
