But you do you.
Possibly, but it's not my job to inform a buyer which wheel/tyre combo might be more convenient to maintain.
The components need to be consistent with my description of them, thus functional and in good condition.

High depth CF wheels are in high demand, especially with people buying their first road bike.

Who cares why they buy them, the market dictates.

Those look extremely nice. How are they only $540 new?
