Bike Tire: Maxxis - Overdrive-Kevlar Belt

Activities/Actions:

Changed a new pair of tires before going for a long trip tomorrow with a group of Thai friends. We are going to bike to Wulai. I spent 1,800NT for the pair. Meng-shin's brother suggested the other brands but this shop did not have them, so I decided to go with this pair suggested by a Thai friend.

Note and reflections:
