TomT said:Funny you should ask that. I just finished building mine yesterday! I picked the kit up from Gary earlier this week.

do you still feel the tires had little impact on your efficiency? I need to reply my stock tires now and I'm curious about your experience.
Thanks, Bill
If you're comparing the new tires to your old ones, they are very likely to be slightly worse. But they should improve after a thousand miles or so as they break in.GeekEV said:I feel like I took a small hit with them, but I also last a bar around the same time so it's hard to say.

I'd take it back to the shop and have the balance checked again. No steering wheel vibration might mean the problem is on one of the rears. Or just that it's too faint to feel through the wheel.thankyouOB said:in answer to a question (pm), there is not steering wheel jiggle or vibration.
TomT said:Nope, I detected no real difference. And the latest CR test rates them both as having excellent rolling resistance. The MXV4 finished first in their tests and the Ecopia 422 last.

thankyouOB said:makes me wonder if the tires are not a good choice as 60-65 is my driving/range freeway sweetspot.
