Increase in MPG/K&N

Interesting read, thanks midden. I think the engineering within, and forces on, the tyre, are somewhat different from the truck tyres discussed to ours though! A touch tyre starts out with a huge tread depth for starters (sure someone will know how deep), so a very different thing.

There's no way you can compare car/truck tyres against a bike tyre as bike tyres barely touch the ground so have much less drag, hence the reason cars are so much better around corners, the reason they benefit is because they have the bigger engine to compensate, and also why fitting larger tyres to your bike is not necessarily such a good thing.
