Title: Duro Tires   Post by Action Lad on Sep 24th, 2017, 11:13pm Anyone have experience with Duro tires, (durotire.com)?  Pretty decent profile I've seen on a Performer I saw on YouTube.  What's life like with these?  Thanks.

I'm not so worried about not being considered a real cyclist after this iconoclast had his "black card" taken away years ago.   I have learned to stay away from Chinese 650s after experiencing them boom like July 4th reports.  The 650, in my opinion, is a real test of a rubber tire's mettle.
