Mine are in! Woot! Er, wadaminute... they're just hoops. Anyway, should have on by Wednesday! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

 
my storms came in yesterday...will replace the front tire in the next week or so, and will wait till my rear gives out in another 2000 miles or so (about 5 weeks of riding).

:clapping: Well, they are here, my new Avon Storm ST tyres. :yahoo: :yahoo:

Now to get them on. Doesn't look like there is any "weight dots" on these tires, er, tyres either. :(

Just had mine hooped on. 1/2 oz each, tech said waaaaay easier to balance than Azaros.

I'll bolt 'em back on tonight and ride to work tomorrow via the wiggly way and report.

Be careful on the first miles on those...don't forget they're slippery when new.

 
No worries, I'm an old, hep cat, ya knows... ;)
I just had visions of when you were a kid, getting new shoes, and showing your mom how high you could jump and how fast you could run with them on. For some reason I sensed that same kind of excitement here :)

 
We called that 'tar skitchin' in the summer when we got new Buster Browns. Went something like this:

Run, run, run. Sliiiiiiiiiide, Weeeeeee! Trip. <skin knees> Mommy! Timmy got boo-boo! :cry:

Just got mine on today. Will try them tomorrow.

The Tech @ Cycle Gear noted there were no balancing marks either. Is there a secret trick to this?? Cycle gear Rocks!! If they give me trouble tomorrow, they will skin them and rebalance if free! 2 oz in the front and 1 oz in the rear.
