Delivered on time! They stood up with no problem but I'm not sure if that was the store I took them to but they struggled to get them balanced. Noise from the street really isn't as much as other reviews say. Once balanced and properly inflated (I use about 28psi for street use) they ride like a dream. Caught them on sale (?) for $140 a tire but looks like the price has gone up again. Definitely worth it for me.
