We bought the last of the Japanese-made, tan sidewall version of this tire. They're functionally the same as the Duro Plus Carbon 12 but with traditional tan sidewalls. These have a perfectly smooth tread for very low rolling resistance.
As with all of the older Avocet tires, they're marked wider than they actually are, with a nominal 35 mm size, even though they're actually 32 mm width.
These are great tires in a traditional tan sidewall style, when they're gone, they're gone.
