>>2003015I think you are having an autistic episode about manufacturers who count each individual layer in their total TPI count, which is a marketing ploy.
Jan wants you sell you cheap Panaracer tires at a 400% markup. Suppleness is not that only metric to consider when choosing your tires (

Higher TPI = less flats, better rolling resistance than your unracer balloon tires
