Rubber perversion

11 02 09 - 22:20 An American branded tyre on a Euro themed road racer might seem like an odd choice, but I'm not standing on ceremony here and there are several justifications. First, they're cheap, being on half price sale in the desired 25c section. Second, even if I wanted to pay double for Michelins, the people down at Clermont-Ferrand seem rather reluctant to actually get the 25c Pro3 into the shops, so I could have been rolling around on the rims for a while if I'd left it to them. Third, the badge is only a badge, and the remarkable similarity to Vittoria tyres seems too close to be mere coincidence; not the same tyre, but certainly cut from the same cloth.
