Update on Maxxis Padrone TR tires

13 days ago I posted about these tubeless tires. I wasn't particularly impressed. That changed on the 4th ride. The weather was calm and softly raining. I thought it would be a good test of these tires in the wet. It hadn't rained enough to was the roads clean. 1st they held to the road like I was on rails, 2nd I was so confident that I turned in my personal best for that course, regardless of the conditions.

I've got 200 miles on these tires now and am fully sold. I have lower the PSI from 118 slowly to 90 PSI. They feel really good at the lower pressure and I'm not detecting a real increase in rolling resistance. Without test gear that is not verifiable. The only downside I can see to these tires is the price. If they wear as good as some reviews suggest I will be happy to buy them again.
