I would use it anyway. I use Tioga Disk daily, a tire worries me less

I don't like the white color on the Porcs, I only see them well on Greg's miyata. If I ever find an early blue/white Ridge Runner in my size, I'd look for some white Porcs. Save them

Ideally need some for my 1990 RidgeRunner when I get round to the Herbold championship build, but I reckon I'll just tipex some black porcs instead and treat the family to a nice weekend away with the saving I'll make.

I’m going to list another, much nicer pair next week. Need to catch up on shipping the first batch of tires.

US$561 ??
And the sidewalls look a bit cracked.

I remember biketech bottom of Park st, Bristol (rip) selling black folding porcs for £5 each.

Porcs were terrible tyres and possibly also the quickest to deteriorate from not great to semi-slick.

I was astonished at how little grip they offered on almost surface.
I took them off pronto and sold them on.
We know now a crisp, sharp, straight edge gives grip.
Not a smooth round dimple

Light, good looking, a lovely sound on tarmac and a pretty print on the ground, but otherwise useless. No wonder they got sold off for a fiver - but they would've made a sound investment because at current prices they have outperformed the housing market.

Although you can't live in a boxed onza, unless you're a spider or a ladybird.
