They are very noisy (read: difficult to talk over) and knobby enough that the vibration makes one&#8217;s ass sore pretty quickly. However, the package recommends that they be ridden for 30 miles on pavement before use off road, so today&#8217;s group ride out to Metro Beach and back worked well for this. With roughly 18-19 miles on the tires I&#8217;ll attempt another ride tomorrow to finish off the break-in; possibly a quick 12 mile-ish ride up to River Bends and back.<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t get the noise out of my head. An hour and twenty minutes of 300 metal spikes hitting pavement with every tire rotation. With a <a href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/2008\/07\/20\/measured-bike-tire-diameters\/\">circumference of 2099mm<\/a> and tonight&#8217;s ride being 18.79 miles, that&#8217;s roughly 3,034,070 discreet metal-on-stone click sounds in rapid succession, not dissimilar from similar to riding over a sheet of bubble wrap. An endless sheet of bubble wrap. For an hour and twenty minutes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As expected, the Nokian Hakka WXC300 tires acquired last week are not fun to ride on pavement.
