Maxxis is advertising a new construction in tire casing. Has this been done before? What's the verdict? Advatange? Disadvantage? Do they have less rolling resistance like car tires? Am I a sucker buying into the hype? Is this an option for tubeless as well?
Endless questions.....

I am useing schwable Ultreemo which are also radial they are great feel with latex tubes tyres are 180 grams and tube 50 grams so have a light tyre combo
I have heard complaints re cuts in tyres but I let mine cure a bit longer and are OK.

I have finaly got a tubeless tyre on my road bike and INFLATED they feel like tubular tyres to ride as do the ultreemos.
