this 16'' wheel thing
I had to get a new tyre for the Guzzi(850t ) and was offered a michelin at a good price but I got to thinking about how michelin had abandoned us , so I bought a metzeler instead. We have 8 road bikes and a couple of trail bikes and none of them will be wearing michelins . Any one else feel the same ?
I wish I was young again............Id be heaps smarter than last time

My wife's 2007 Chevrolet came with Hankook tires, made in Korea, so GM has by-passed Michelin and done the boycotting for me
For my Triumph 650 project, I bought Avons, after all, they were Made in England!

Re: this 16'' wheel thing
Since this Triumph project is kind of retro I went with Avon Speedmasters, rib tire in front. I'll post some pics in a more correct forum thread.
