will do, note that this is an uhp tire and with anything in this field you will sacrifice tread life for performance as compared to a touring tire. if you plan on doing some track this is a def one of the better tires to run but if your dd and raking up high miles, id stay away as you will not get the benefit that this tire should provide unless they are used they way they should be.
