non "elite", yet no paint & light!) 🔩

..this tire here with the red Label and in the grey compound came on the market in 93 little later than the initial design for the ground control as in 86, yet both in pre Umma Gumma labeled grey compound.

the red label and kevlar bead wtb designed tires come out 1991/92 & another different tirebatch 1993/94 following the yellow label and mostly steel beaded pro models of earlier years.

..will be using a spare more extreme in black compound for rather dry conditions and to be tread saving for acceleration on the back!
