Re: modern tyres
That kind of lean angle is commonplace on todays tyres. However I hasten to add that not with this boy on board,.....espesh in the wet!

Re: modern tyres
Thats alot of tread on that front, you sure those are road tyres and not race wets ?
Still impressive though and I know I'd never get that far over in the wet.

Re: modern tyres
IIRC it was the Avon road legal wets they were using in that shot.

Re: modern tyres
It has a Michelin man on the front mud guard! Avon will not be happy.
On a different note, does the Avon lady sell tyres? |
