Cheap tyres

[blew]

Many moons ago,I had an SM on the rear of a  BSA B40.When it finally wore out,I had a terrible job getting it off.It had gone so hard and stiff that it refused to come off the rim.

i had a gs1000g suzuki outfit with a big old coachbuilt chair on it and an avon sm on the back, it was a hoot to ride, i could drift it sideways through a bend with the back wheel spinning and smoking in the dry. great fun! we went all across europe in it one year and when i sold the bike it still had loads of tread left on it. would have been a different matter had it been on the front though!

I had a 'Kingstone' (?) front tyre on an old Kawasaki Z200 that simply would not 'wear out', I replaced it because I thought I should......in the process of getting it off....it broke !.
