For racing you can get better rolling resistance at 120psi with other tires.
Oh my god these are hard to mount.
I had to stand on it with my foot and stretch it out all around THREE times like this before it would go on.
I had to mount it like this (cannot use tools):
It took me like 20 minutes last night to mount one. My hands were sore. I didn't do the other. I'll do that one today
