I just got a pair of the new Bontrager Jones XR's. They have a larger air volume than the ACX's, but with a lower rolling resistance tred. They just look huge in the bike, mush bigger than the inches say on the side, (2.25" ft, 2.20" rear.) They have about a centimeter of clearance on my older styled GF frame, Just enough! I'm stoked to get out and try them, they're just what i like on my race bike, big and comfortable, and yet hella-fast!

Sounds great, but I'll wait (with fingers crossed and bated breath) for someone to take a set of calipers to them.

56mm front width, 55mm front height. 55mm rear width, 55mm rear width. Mesurements taken with 55psi in the tires, and mounted on Delgado X rims. Good enough?

Hmm. I get 2.16" width. Lemme know how the front works compared to an ACX.
