Once i met an Austrian guy with his wife, he drove an Africa Twin, she a
Transalp.
I asked them about tyres and they said:
"In Austria the roads are so good that we use Avon tyres. They are not very
good, but the roads there aren't slippery at all, so...
Now when we come to Greece, we use Mezzeler enduro 3 (!!)"
