You added quite a bit to that review he didn't say at all. He said first impressions. Sometimes new tires are out of round, balance badly or ride like shit. He even said they are not as loud as his old worn tires and that he still needs to test them on the trail.That's like a useless Amazon review of tires when they're first installed. "These tires look so cool and are way less noisy than my old MT tires with only 75,000 miles on them. They are great! 5 stars!!!!" 6 months later, "These tires are loud and wear bad. They suck!"
I hope your day gets better...
