Same here, although admittedly my last pair of tyres were purchased in 2007 (just before my big off at Castle Doom!) and they came from my local tyre depot place who had them in stock.

So from a safety point of view, we're fine to just go out on any old set of tyres now, right?

Now that is an interesting idea! I wonder how much extra performance can be wrung out of a better set of wheels?

One might suffer from being accused of it being deliberate - in order to lighten the mood and reduce the amount of invective!

However think how much weight could be saved if we allowed plastic rims.

Got some slugs in a tupperwarebox that'll give your can of worms a race as long as I can use Chris' wheels!

I've been told that Oval wheels are best, along with stripey knee socks, large check trousers, braces and a curly wig, and a brightly coloured bowler hat with a bird inside it.
Top this lot off with a big red nose that honks when you squeeze it!

And don't even get onto the 'rimming' debate !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LOL !

I was thinking of taking a lead from Hengist Pod out of Carry on Cleo who invented the square wheel! It apparently gave a somewhat clunky ride!
