Thanks.  And thanks also to the other responders to my question.  If  
anyone else has used Azenis, I'd like to here from you, too.

And thanks again.  Yes, folks, I was so sure that I was going to buy

The Azenis tires may not be as stiff as the Victos, but they won't be  
as sticky, either, so the total forces for body roll and tire roll  
will be less.

I assume that, unlike the old BFG R1, you can chalk these.
