[Mgs] Kumho tires

[Paul Hunt]

I've had no problem undoing broken spokes, without any heat or releasing 
fluid - these are chrome, painted may be worse.  I've actually had one wheel 
replaced with stainless to see if that solves the breakage issue.  However 
that will be a long-term test as the chrome ones didn't start breaking until 
after four of five years and then just the occasional one.  Since then the 
breakage rate has gone up and I have found two or three on one wheel after a 
five-hundred mile or so run.  Although funnily enough I've just got back 
from one of those had one broken before I started and still only that one 
broken on my return.
