Re: [doc] Tyres

[Martin Gutkowski <webmaster@xxxx>]

The omly way you'll match them is to buy them from the states at a 
premium and even then you'll get 2nd hand, 20 year old tyres. My 
opinion? Change up to the Pirelli P600/P6000 combo and sell your rear 
NCTs. The treads don't match, but they're superb tyres, and the 
sidewalls DO match, near enough. Ask Chris Hawes what he thinks of them 
- he went with them too :-)
