They talk about the various makers feelings concerning wet and rough roads and they also tell of the author's empirical findings with the various tire in the rain. It is an interesting article from the standpoint of describing the various makers testing methodologies. The rest of the mag is devoted to fat tire bikes. [ Are mountain bike slicks next ?? ;-) ] (Oh... You wanna know what they said ??? They worked fine in the rain. and they all worked like the tubulars they (the tires) were competing with.) -- -- Lee Carlson -- Boeing Errorspace, Seattle ...{uw-beaver|fluke}!ssc-vax!carlson Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
