Re: New tire inceases top speed !
Yes but do you have the necessary qualifications to use one?

...imho one of the very best overlooked melee weapons is a #1 point long handled shovel...

Experience is no good unless you have the right bit of paper to your name

Re: New tire inceases top speed !
Best regards to chucking out good rubber.
This has plenty of life left in it

Re: New tire inceases top speed !
Seems my earlier comment may have been misunderstood by a few. I wasn't suggesting chucking out good rubber. I was suggesting sometimes a tyre is past it's best even if it's still within the legal limit. A square tyre caused by motorway riding is an example.
Personally I don't chuck away good rubber.

Re: New tire inceases top speed !
Tis true. And you're lucky if they're square. After a year or so of commuting on only motorways and roundabouts, my tyres went decidedly lop-sided.
If they made every other roundabout go the other way it'd solve this particular issue
