Touraces would give you longer tyre wear and definitely a smoother ride. Doris has complained continually about the rougher ride since I put Heidenu tyres on my bike. You can ride with 2.2 and 2.8 pressures in your tyres which amounts to less fuel used with the Touraces. If you change your mind about fitting them I may take them off you (at a discounted second hand price of course )
I think that they are doing some roadworks in Swampy's street, hence the need for more traction, that roadbase is a bitch to ride on............plus you get more street cred with knobs on.
