[doc] Re: Tyres!



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.
