So far as I know, the first British tires to be compounded with
synthetic rubber were Avon Speedmasters in the mid-1960's. The parts
guy at a large motorcycle emporium in Inglewood steered me to the
Avons when I told him I was going to mount wider rims and tires on my
Yamaha 250cc cafe racer.
He called the high hysteresis synthetic rubber "cling rubber".
But I wasn't a good enother rider to find out how well they would
stick...
Then Dunlop came out with their K-81 trigonic section offerings, but I
was getting heavy into desert riding and didn't buy any at that
time...

Actually, that's the phrase Avon used for their Roadrunners.

They didn't, once you got off the vertical. SMs were squarish section. I
think you're muddling them up with Roadrunners.

Annd all your blathering has *nothing* to do with your essential
inanity, which was to tell people to fit the OE tyres.
Oh, and learn the difference between typos when something's knocked up
in haste and crap language. The first is me. The second is you.
And the Bridgestones were called Exedras, btw.

Protecting the world from all the "misinformation" that I seem to be
spreading must be a challenging task, consuming most of your day.
However, I suspect that you'll find somebody else to follow around the
interweb
when I'm gone, as a long-nosed busybody's work is never done...
P'raps it really isn't that your nose is so long, it's that your chin
is so short and that makes it easier to get your nose closer to
everybody's plumbing...

And this is why you have no credibility.

It is, rather.
Just in this thread you've managed to advise people to fit (say) 30
year-old tyres to 30 year-old bikes (if they can be obtained), given
an unwanted treatise on (the lack of) Japanese natural rubber
production, managed to mis-spell two major tyre types, confused Avon
Speedmasters with Avon Roadrunners, called Cheng Shin tyres crap on
the basis of your experiences of several decades ago, told the world
that they're Chinese tyres when they're not, and used your antique
crappy old Suzuki as some sort of benchmark for tyre technology.
I honestly can't think of anyone who's managed to make so many
mistakes, and prove themselves so ignorant, in one short thread of
(checks) 26 postings.
