A note on the BF Goodrich Crossengo and the Michelin Cross AC10.
These rear tyres are damn near identical in the tread. Only a very slight difference in the shape of some of the centre blocks (triangle vs curved), otherwise all positions, shapes, brace lugs etc etc are identical. The font for the name is also the same!
So I suspect there is some kind of cross-pollination happening in the Czech Republic where they are made. I had heard the Crossengo is a knock-off of a well known Euro tyre, now I know which one!
The Crossengo only comes in a 110/100-18, but the AC10 also comes in the next size up 120/90-18 (yes oddly in a 90 not 100 profile)... and maybe more, I've only got those two sizes to hand.
