Great British Roads that are focced up.are sports compound tyres now applicable?

There are a hell of a lot of people out there that seem to think they are tyre experts. ( I mean out there in general, not on here). How many times have you heard people sit bragging to their mates over a fry up that they dont like Dunlops cos they dont handle corners well, or the latest BT 30684s are crap in the rain etc. Then the next bloke is raving about how good Dunlops are or Bridgestones are excellent all weather tyres. The tyre companies spend millions researching and testing tyres but it always makes me laugh when Fred down the pub starts slagging them off cos there not up to his standard.99% of people wouldnt have a clue what tyres were on a bike if they couldnt read the wall, and a very high percentage of those probably couldnt tell any difference in any of them.
  Michael Dunlop and Valentino Rossi etc who are pushing their tyres to the limit will know whats what but average Joe on his daily commute or Sunday afternoon blatt around Matlock couldnt tell the difference in a Dunlop and a doughnut.
  Before everyone starts having a go,  Im not saying that nobody can tell the difference, obviously some people can, but how many of these biking gods have had a brown trouser moment in a corner and instantly blame it on the new tyres when actually it was down to their riding being not quite as good as they think it is?  Just asking!

Couldn't have put it better myself
