THE BB's don't have the additives/preservatives that DOT tires have. It's my understanding ozone is a big detriment to the BB's. These tires are made for racing, wearing out quickly and then discarded.
Another thought...if you consider the Avons to have a useful life of approx. 8 years, then the annual cost of Avons is nearly the same as BB's at 5 years.
I still like the BB's appearance more.
