But even at that price, if they hold up it's well worth it.

Yep, that's the one - same branding and everything anyway, different sidewall
color. Sorry, wasn't real specific about what they called 'em. You'll see those
on sale just insanely cheap on occasion. I took a chance and so far so good.
Lately almost all my riding's on the mountain bike- keeps me out of the sun -
when the weather turns I'll be back on the roads and see how far I get on those.

If you're willing to spend the money:

They're good tires and the price can't be beat.

I'm cheap. I've worn out a half dozen pairs of these:

(I know that's going to wrap)

I used to ride these into work to add base miles. That's alongside a
state highway where everyone thows their [censored] out the back of their
trucks as they're driving. Aquariums, old air conditioners, bottles,
whatever. You don't dodge little pieces of glass through this area,
because there's no place to dodge. You can stop and carry your bike
around the garbage so long as you don't mind carrying your bike a mile
and a half up a hill. I do mind. So, I've given these major abuse and
they've always held up. They run a bit narrow.
