More than one people use the 70 profile tyres on the SV, so it was a good call nevertheless.

Apparently tyres affect are only those be made in France. So can check details on tyre wall before buy.

If made in France maybe not use any until made after maybe July 2007?

I hoping mine ok at your Donington next week?

As do many (most?) other bikes, my Hornet included.

Thanks for the heads up, Mr Pedrosa - it's good that you take an interest in us mere mortals of the biking world, and good luck at Donners....... hope the race is as good as the last one

Maybe you should switch to Conti Road Attacks for the race?

EVEN MORE IMPORTANT!

My SV.ORG friends it seem that Michelin are trying to use damage limit with this situation.

No fault reported by owners? Lies.

Take look at this link, see date when started and more important see picture of bike front tyre!
