Why are they smooth now amd not buff? Are they lighter or do they float better than the old ones?

 

They obviously switched there design. Prolly makes them more money in the long run is why. Smooth tires generally weigh more than buff.

I never really liked the mohawks so I can't tell you if they float better cause I don't use them [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

seems to buff tires they have to buy good tires to shave of tread, seems doing the molded would be cheaper.

 

You can still get them buffed. youll have to look harder. They got popular so they started making a mas productive molded one to keep up with the demand. and to keep cost down. Buffed ones are better if you really serious about weight and performace. Most riders prob could not tell a diff
