OK, I just got back into riding the Tandem on a Sunday morning with my
wife around the neighborhood loop.
Looking down at the front wheel, the shape of the tire is more
elliptical than circular with a raised center. These are 700x30c and
inflate to 100psi but are noisy when they roll and scuff when turning.
Anyone else had experience with these tires? I don't like them but it
may take a while before they wear out.

Yeah, they suck. It's a shame, too, since they are pretty nicely made
from a materials and workmanship standpoint. In my estimation they
address the center tread wear issue common to tandems at the expense
of traction and handling qualities.
Panaracer Pasela 700x32s are similar tires, but less expensive, and
without the weird tread shape problem.
