don't want to poke the fire (too much) but I have just come across some pretty negative stuff regarding a certain brand of tyres when looking for some info on the GS..

Understand that this could be unsubstantiated internet opinion but if it is true….

I spoke to a couple of people in the trade regarding these and apparently the sports touring tyres are getting very good feedback from customers.

However, the full blown sports tyres have been causing problems. Both dealers have had a number of pairs returned with the same fault. When the tyres heat up the tread appears to lift away from the carcass of the tyre as if delaminating.
The tyres are fine when they cool back down again and there haven't been any total failures.
The official explaination is that air has become trapped in between the tread and carcass during production and that it isn't really a problem.
Still don't think I would bother.

Not really helpfull at all, Ian. I clicked one of the links you provided and there as many positve comments about that particular brand of tyre as there are negative. So what are we to read into this?

The decision as to the make/model of tyre to be used in DD in 2010 will, I;m sure, be made without consideration to opinions on random message boards.

I dont see any value whatsoever in poking this metaphorical fire any more than it has been already. It seems to have been enflamed already to the point that riders would rather leave DD - which is to the detriment of the series and the DSC, not too mention the paddock friendships being split apart.

Sounds like a load of hot air to me
