1) Those look like some pretty thick road tires.....or is that my imagination?

2) Well I guess they would technically considered Hybrid Tires... But they are way better than my knobbies..... for the road, i mean.

3) I through on some armadillo road tires this summer (had over 25 flat tires biking cross country).....those things can go through anything.....highly recommended

4) Sweet advice man thanks.. I just got these last week but didnt get around to putting them on till today.
