All winter long I rode my Rawland with big fat nobbies. That's fun and it's useful for deep snow, but those tires are killers on the pavement. Cornering sucks and you just have to work too hard to get up to speed.
Today, I rode to work on the Rawland shod in my beloved Grand Bois Hetres. These tires are the best. The most comfortable, smoothest, fastest, cushiest, most wonderful tires I've ever been on. I went on and on about them when I got them last summer. But after not being on them for a long time and riding studs, nobbies, Pasalas, and even the Cerfs over the last 5 or so months-- riding these Hetres is just such a treat.
These are what pneumatic tires are supposed to feel like.
Quoi, bois? You would fart in the general direction of my 50 pound, kevlar armored, strange blue goo impregnated, Schwalbe tank treads?
