Hello Barney:
Those are new SP20s running on the mkII. I mounted them last June or
July. Your dealer must have had some leftover stock last year as I
believe they were discontinued around June '96 or so.
I'm real happy with the appearance and performance for my driving style.
I sort of agree with you though, they are not quite as meaty as the old
SP4s and after trying to stick with you down the Missouri River Valley
on the Enduro the other day, I tend to think you might need something
with a little more substance.
I have no experience with them, but Avon produces a tar (Ozarkspeak for
tyre) in that price range, but with a slightly higher rating. Sorry, I
don't have the model No. but will look for it if you like.
Hope to see you again soon,
David F. Darby
