I prefer the MS to JB blue; I haven't tried JB green. The MS feels cushier
and quicker but I haven't timed myself on them. The JB was my favorite 33
tire, though, until I tried the MS. I only got one flat on the JB's in many
miles, but I have yet to flat the MS. Also, the little bit of inverted
tread on the MS gave more bite off pavement than the JB's. Not a big
difference, and the JB is a great tire, but the MS has become my preferred
ride.
