[doc] Re: Tyres!

["Phill Wright" <psw@xxxxxxxx>]

Well, I've ordered the Pirelli's so they don't have the letetring in 
white anyway - I know some are unidirctional, like the asymetric ones 
on my Avantime. Don't know if the Pirelli's are, but I'll keep my eye 
on em :-)
Tread on my front tyres (BF Goodrich) isn't bad anyway, but I don't 
know how old they are and they are hard so I'm changing all 4 as the 
back 2 are pretty close.

Cheers

VIN 6772 (sorbet) (with some polishing up to do b4 Sunday)

You will have to make sure you dont mount them wrong, you may lower 
ride quality.
