Hey HawkTwoFifty,
I didn’t have any problems with the tires themselves. Knobby tires on the street have a “loose” feel. The knobs flex when you lean into a turn. I went with a 50/50 Tire, but I could have gone with a 70/30 or even an 80/20. I like the feel of the Shinko 244s. I think they are a good compromise.

What kind of riding are you planning on doing? If you don’t mind the knobby, then just replace the tubes and rim strips and or tape.

Keep us posted,
