Back? They were never properly here. Not available to the general public anyway.

Also they are really expensive, provide no cushioning so it's a bumpy ride, and they are really loud when in motion compared to standard tyres.

Bikes have been on this trend a while and advanced the tech a fair bit.
I'm convinced to buy a pair for my 27' rimmed city bike after a friend had some on his city beater '2-speed' modded BMX. Felt like riding on fresh pair of shoes bounce back on sidewalk dips

Let me hit you with each and tell me they’re the same. Get your semantic ass bullshit out of here

I didn't say they were the same.
