I'd be getting another Comtrac if they were still available, but from what I've seen, the Austone is probably a carbon copy, only it's
designed for more mileage (rumor or fact, I dunno). The guy who rode it thousands of mile and a bunch of gravel roads and stuff
convinced me about it more than the sheer lack of problems with them - so far.
So...I think I'll be just as happy Austoning down the boulevard.
Hmmm...thinking...I have a BRIDGEstone on the front.
I'll be totally stoned. ROFL

Take care, Be safe.

Well welcome to the Darkside Lou! What kind of bike are you riding? Be careful till you get a couple of hundred miles on them.

Welcome to the darkside, I made the switch a few months ago and so far it has been great, and performs great in the rain.
