    eBay - Good deals on great tires

    I just purchased a couple pairs of tires from this dealer. He's got a few pair left of each. Delivery was VERY fast. I had them in 3 days from the date of payment. Brand new as advertised.

    First pair - $37/pr Bontrager Race Lite folding bead, 700x25c. These tires are just about indestructable and ride nicely in most conditions. Linda and I have put thousands of miles on a couple of sets of these without flats or cuts. Lightweight too. They list for $35 each.

    Second pair - $37/pr Specialized Roubiax Pro, folding bead, 700x23/25c. These are new this year from Specialized. I tried a pair when I got my Zipp 404s. The claim is they are a 23c tread on a 25c casing and they are supposed to roll fast because of the tread width, and ride like a 25c because of the air volume of a 25c tire. All I know is they work! Smoothest riding tire I have used. No cuts yet after hundreds of miles. Did I mention how nice they ride? They list for $49 ea. I'm going to get a second pair. These things work!
