SOME TYRE TRUTHS

TWO PALM -SIZED CONTACT PATCHES ARE ALL THAT STAND BETWEEN YOU AND THE SURGICAL WARD. HOW IS IT YOU UNDERSTAND SO LITTLE ABOUT THEM?
WORDS: BORIS MIHAILOVIC

You hear a lot about tyres. This brand versus that. This tread-pattern is better than that tread-pattern. This one moves more water than that one. This one is better for track-days. This one sucks. This one blows. This one rules and is the greatest tyre ever, and no other tyre has ever been or ever will be as good.
