yeah your spot on!
Medial Pro tires come either separate or pre-glued. The inserts are built in the tires. Of the many tires I've tried, they work the best. I normally purchased the pre-glued set ($19/pair at my lhs) and they have a very long tread life. There are different compounds to choose from. Here is the link.
