Michael,

I should have asked a slightly more specific question.  How does the Enduro 4
behave on a road that has not seen rain all summer and then receives a small
sprinkling, i.e. enough to lift vehicle oil and tyre dust but not enough to wash
it away.  I am probably after the unachievable!

BTW did anyone else see the article about a lunatic who has made a (back) tire
for his BMW K70 (?) that is composed of articulated pads.  Apparently it works
amazingly well.
