tyres
Not the usual .org questions. cos we already know what the racers found out this weekend
1) they last nowhere near long enough
2) they won't go round corners in the wet.
OK obvious really. But if considering your avarage cage driver gets say 5 times the life out of tyre, and far better road holdingand pays half the cost per tyre. When are we who buck/mile pay far more far our tyres going to see real benifit from the Pirrelli/Michellin money spent in racing.
At present I see little evidence that the professional riders are getting anything so I guess we as the end customer are going to continue paying for the foreseeable with the promise of jam tomorrow.
