They didn’t want a conventional semi-slick, but the same round profile as our other Rene Herse tires, for predictable cornering grip at all times—whether in a muddy gravel race or during a paved descent with ultra-fast hairpin turns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo we went about reinventing semi-slick tires.
