Motorcycle tyres

[c-m]

We often like to mock tyres and their brand names, and sometimes rightly so. I've had some terrible tyres throughout the years.

Just curious as to what some of the common names are.

So far i've heard of:

Michelin Hi-sides
Bridgestone Fail wings
Avon slip master

[MarkJ]

Dunslops
Dunslips
<any brand> ditch-finders
Avon

Dii-Yung (any Chinese tyres but was usually used for Cheng-shin).

Barum. (Real name, Worst. Tyres. Ever.).

I did the 2010 Round Britain Rally on my 350 Bullet. 89 landmarks, 3 months, 9,500 miles.

Mitas, possibly former Barum, not sure about that

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

The old East German Pneumants on MZ's were lethal, like hard plastic.
