After doing all the research I've come to the conclusion its just not worth spending an extra $130 for a rear tire just to get an extra 3/4 inch more in width.

When I trick out the bike down the road I'll get another wheel and get an even wider tire.

I can get the Night Dragon for $177 shipped.

Since we can be funny now, maybe you shoud try riding on the sides of the tire and not in the middle or center, how ever you see it. i got 10,000 out of the first one. Buy what you want, i know what my next tire will be.
