New tires

These front tires are really wearing out quick!

I've been practicing almost every day now, and I've really been pushing hard on the front wheel. This time I only got about 1500 miles out of it, and that's without using the brakes much.

The center of the tire still had the little nipples/nubs when I brought it back this time. And this time I rode it until the wear beads themselves disappeared. The tire still handled great though, even with almost no tread on the sides. I'm gonna have to add some highway miles to my rides.

NB: I did switch to higher pressures for the tires, and the wear pattern is much better whilst having virtually the same grip, and slightly better feel.
