Hi ATiCs,

Hereīs the latest news I read in TOURENFAHRER 6/99, before I leave 
for Kirchhundem:

Bridgestone offers a new tire, which is a variation of the TW101/152. 
It is called G-Type and and looks similar to the older version, but 
is more street-oriented (bigger blocks of rubber). The rubber is now 
made of silica, which promises to provide better grip especially in 
wet conditions. According to the Tourenfahrer test, the tire almost 
feels like a real road tire. They talk about a surprising stability 
and a superb grip. The tire is designed "stiffer" than the older 
version.

Iīm not quite sure, if this tire

They also tested the Tourance from Metzeler, which is also very 
street-oriented. It shall be very harmonic in turns, got a good 
handling and is a very silent tire, as well as the Bridgestone G-
Type.

Have a nice weekend, here in Bavaria itīs raining cats and dogs :-(((

Ciao,

Marco

P.S.: I will add this information soon to the Accessories pages.
