Yes it does, it's a little lighter too. Not going to get many street miles though.

Anybody used those new Chinese tires V-rubber? They are supoose to be better (softer) than a Hook up. and a lot cheaper. I am going to order me a 190/50-17 and see how it does.

it will last. have a couple friends that ride 50 miles round trip 5 days a week to work then race on the weekend with the same hook up tire. This is in Louisiana heat tires may get changed once ever 4-6 months. I personally have one of the first tires spencer cycles shipped and it has been on my bike for just under a year

burnouts at the track don't hurt your tire (other than heat cycling it)... It's spinning on the street that will wear one out.
