Tyres compared

[cowpoos]

Checked the August issue, but there's no correction in their 'Bullshit Detector' bit. I haven't read the September issue, so not sure if they realised it by then, or got a letter on it or something. I went back to the Tyre Test though, and they seem to have typed the stopping distances of 25m or so in to the body of the text many times...

I'm guessing then that they stopped from a slower speed? I think even awesome sports car would struggle to match that stopping distance, so I doubt a bike could do it on its 20c piece front contact patch.

errrrr.how do you get to see the issuses earliy???? and btw....contact area increases as you brake...flattens the profile of the tyre...but your right....I think those figures a dubious!!

couldn't believe how they rated the bt014's so highly....they are honestly a shit tyre!!!

Totally agree bro!!. I have ridden 3 bikes with them on recently and had all three bikes sliding in the wet and dry.

Like I said above, the e-subscription. They let out the 'September' issue in July in the UK...I guess it's an attempt to make us in NZ and Kazhakstan feel like we're getting up to date news when it arrives via Stork 2 months after it's printed in Europe.

Vist their website and you can sign up to e-sub. It might take you a while to download on dial-up, but it's still worth it (works out at about $4 per issue I think).
