Never noticed anything like that. They feel fine. I rarely get over 35 in the city and never take it on the highway.

If you don't do 35 in our RESIDENTIAL area you will get run over lol. I take my CA95 to about 45-50 mph. I am hoping to ride my CA77 at 55/65 mph so I can keep up with the other riders in my group. I LOVE the look of the firestone's but, I heard that they have a tendency of "grabbing" grooves in the road. And at 65 mph that could be a problem.

If someone was going over 35 in MY residential area with my 3-year-old son 5 feet away on the sidewalk, they'd get my coffee cup through their window. I already got one idiot with a moose cup full of soda last year.

I hear ya! I ran a family daycare for years and we live at the tail end of a long straight away that turns into a SHARP L turn. We have had so many accidents and near accidents that I eventually closed my daycare and went back to work at the local elementry school. Oh and my neighbor is a cop and people still don't slow down. I have driving teenagers now, I keep my eye on them like crazy. I like your approach though, I have lots of coffee cups lol.
