This is very good, and it's good to see it confirmed in the more mainstream press.
But I still question the "vibrations make tires feel fast." At least, I've never felt that, though I can certainly feel the difference between, say, a Parigi Roubaix or an Elk Pass and a Kojak, and a Kojak and, say, the old Avocets of similar size and tread (or lack thereof). Is this (vibration felt as speed) a very common phenomenon? For me, the "sense of speed" has always been torque versus cadence in well known conditions, that is to say, you can maintain a faster cadence in a given gear for given conditions -- which is why the Furious Freds, for example feel fast, despite the knoblets giving a vibration that actually makes the tire feel slower. (I find myself, for example, pushing a 74" gear on the flats with the FFs instead of the 70" or lower I would favor with even Liteskin Big Apples.
