Tires don't score well in a "test" - "but muh variables", "surface type", "dimensions" "tube, tubeless, tubular, foam roller?" too funny all of the sudden we're deeply rigorous...nerdvoice "I'd like to see the study controls and get a blood sample from all the researchers as well as a complete family history", also "what did they eat for breakfast on the day of the test".

No matter what tire I have I'm still me, unfortunately, so that means fat (you can actually hear me getting fatter) and slow.

But...we all have our tire preferences for sure. I assume if I like it then it's both uncool and does not actually perform very well in the "real world". Meaning when I'm dry humping my bike up some massive 3/4th's of a mile 3.7% climb, "rolling resistance" doesn't mean squat.
