Now that I've had a chance to ride this tire for a while, and after putting a new PR2 up front, I think I'm liking the Journey. I've still not pushed it on wet roads(rainy season is over), but everything else seems to be working nicely. I had been carrying 35psi for a while, went to 40, have now dropped back to 35. This tire is rated for over 1000 lbs at what, 42 or 44 lbs? I think an unladen Connie is just fine at 35, IMHO, YMMV.
I really hope they figure out how to make a round one, though.
I run the Shinko 700 series(70/30 street knobby) on my KLR and they really work great, plus they are round.
