Am I ready for these tires??

There's a neat article right here on the TE site that you may want to check out. It's called "Levers? Levers? We Don't Need No Stinking Levers!" (Although I'd invest the $2 in a pair of levers, if I were you. :P)

OMG! You said this out loud???? You may need to go perform some kind of sacrificial rite.

I agree. Immediately send $20 to everybody who posted on this forum and your karma will improve dramatically.

I agree, I would invest in levers also. But in a pinch, your QR skewer can be used as an tire lever.

If for some crazy reason you actually get a tear in the sidewall of the tire and the tube blows out, you can use a protein bar wrapper or dollar bill folded up on the inside of the tire between the sidewall and the tube. You may not want to fill the tire to maximum pressure but at least you can limp home on it. This is also why you always carry a spare tube.
