Thanks for the warning. I will not buy this Maxxis; it is scratched.

By "unround" I meant in cross section. The pair I have mounted nice and true and seem to ride fine so far.

That's how I understood it. I expect a round cross section in a quality tire.

Got FMB tubulars now on both wheelsets for my 1975 Motobecane. One wheelset has large flange Campagnolo Record hubs with polished alloy Super Champion rims, the other wheelset has low flange Campagnolo Record hubs with dark anodized Mavic GP4 rims. Loving the ride!
