A list of bikes the tires were tested on would be useful.
Why does the product line graphic have engine displacement on the y axis? What does it mean, exactly?
Please comment on the following:
Given 300 lbs on the rear tire inflated at 35 psi:
1) The contribution of sidewall compression to supporting the weight can be ignored.
2) The contact patch must be almost exactly 300/35 square inches.
3) Modifying the spacing of the radial bands changes the shape of the patch, not the area.
Am I wrong?
