The Tire had some different size teeth (Little Black Spokes) around the tire.Seems new like listed maybe poorly handled. But all in all the tire is great! Once I cleared about 70 miles I let it rip and they did not disappoint. Really lets me handle my bike around corners and gets sticky fast. Great Tire! Definitely and upgrade from the stock Continental. Love its look too.Gonna go up a tire size next time of the same brand.
