    There are 87 in GR with Mekoff. Not sure on size. They are what I am getting in a couple months to replace my energy D. Some guys say tires get discontinued when they are out of stock and want to sell you something else…

    Why a deep lug with closed shoulder? Don't the 2 kinda counteract each other?

    Supposedly the closed shoulder rides and wears better than an open shoulder tire.

    I’m an open shoulder person but they are getting hard to get….
