Most of the BSSO riders use Sava MC20 [albeit a soft race compound] in the wet.

There you go, counts as good in my books.

Another blow out coming home from Brid. Rider and passenger both fine but rumoured to be another Schwalbe

Frank, I assume thats Gary's ?

If so it was a Schwalbe on an SIP rim. done less than thousand miles, the more recently bought ones seem less reliable ?????.

Yep. They had a lucky escape.

When I took my Schwalbe to the tyre fitters to get changed he told me that it had two weak spots and was a blow out waiting to happen.

Got some Kenda M&S tyres coming in soon. 75 mph rated [maybe not on snow though ].

Mind you the only person that I know daft enough to ride in snow is Wellerchap. OK, we're all agreed, he can be the test pilot [again].

Are they going to be taken off the market? Surley with all these problems trading standards should/would intervene and with all this press and people continuing to sell them could be liable for injury, damage or death

I've just found these 'Vredestein Staccata' rated to L = 75MPH
