Continental DW's ride really well and have great wet grip but it comes at the expense of steering response. They have soft sidewalls which are really compliant.

How do you like the noise/ride compared to the RE050's?

The noise level seems OK, honestly I cannot tell a huge difference from my RE50.
However, I agree with you, these tires seem to ride pretty well.

i went from re050s to the DW's and it was a night and day difference. THe DW's out gripped and out handled the re050s by a fair margin I thought. Nothing but positives coming from this side.

Sounds like you RE050's were bald or heat cycled out if they had less grip than the harder compound DW's... Unless you are talking about wet weather

Hey yoel bring it buy the shop one day and let me check out the new rims. I've been wanting to see the tsw's in person anyway as i'm itching to change out my rims. Yves came buy the shop friday said he was ready for another mountain run. We need to hit 215 and see what the new rubber can do.

Alright bro,

I'll stop by around lunch sometime this week. I should be getting my new spings in today so I should be ready for the mountain run this weekend. How's the turbo setup coming?

Do Spoon's calipers fit under these? Could you check? Thanks!

Sorry, still have not made the measurements for the Spoon calipers, but added an updated on the wheel/tire combo.
