Thanks for posting this!  I love Big Apples so I suspect I'll like the 
Torch tires even more!

  For frank or anyone who may have these tires what do they actually 
measure in width and height and with what width rim are you measuring them 
with ?

Interesting tire

Have to admit, the tire I'm putting the most mileage on these days (my 
usual riding is on a multiuse path that, while it has a lot of pavement, 
also has some graveled path sections), is this one:
http://www.amazon.com/Clement-Cycling-XPLOR-Clincher-Tire/dp/B008OHDXA0
Also a 40.   Just barely squeaks into my canti-Rom's frame (if I 
overinflate, it'll rub).

 I'm intrigued by these new tires from Maxxis.  29 x 2.10 120tpi street 
 tires that come in 1/2 pound lighter than the equivalent Big Apples in a

 the substantial toe overlap is bugging me and I want to move up to a 1 1/8

 of my list right now.  I'm running 40's and the roads I ride are so rough

 I've got a set on my Atlantis and am very happy with them. It's a nice 
light-ish, and fast rolling tire with a fairly supple sidewall. . The 
rounded profile makes it a fun tire for bombing around on pavement too.  I 
prefer them to the Schwalbe Big Apples and Super Motos.
