Ironically, I’m the store manager of an automotive shop that specializes in tires. Was joking with my guys today….that I could’ve competed a “4 pop”(4 new tires mounted and balanced) on a Chevy 2500 in less time than it took me to seat 2 tubeless bike tires. LOL. (For the record: I could actually finish that truck in under 30 mins).

we have a few model tires that are a pain in the arse to get seated/mounted. Firestone Weathegrips are one of them. So, ya…I was def wondering if the Fondas are making my job harder.

im open to any tire recommendations….with a combination of good puncture resistance and/or low rolling resistance.

ive ridden 800 miles in the last few months on my Conti Grand Prix 4-seasons and have only had one puncture(tire got a tear, but oddly the tube didn’t get punctured)
