DeCorsa 15" (non-staggered)

Just got my new DeCorsa's from SmartMadness (Thanks, Boris and Rachel!) These are non-staggered ("back" tires all around) to facilitate rotating the tires properly. Haven't really tested them (just 2 miles from the tire store), but they definitely feel different.

Yeah, unfortunately, due to some confusion, I didn't get the rims until today (instead of last Thursday), so I didn't get to try them this past weekend (I was up there, checking things out, finalizing details... okay, having a BLAST!). But I can say that the stock tires handled just fine.

Granted, they were among the cheapest I could find - I couldn't go for rims and expensive tires (yet), but we'll see how they handle. I have had good luck with cheap tires before.
