Time to buy new tires... opted to stay with 13" 9.7lb wheels and buy Michelin Defenders, rather than buying $89 Helium 15" 11.5 lb wheels and larger Bridgestone Ecopia tires. I'll lose some gearing advantages on the freeway, but the cost is right and I'll have lower rotational mass closer to the hub. I hope the tires are good.
