About to head off on a trip this morning, and what do I find? A nail through the MIDDLE groove on the tyre. Exactly the same groove as the first puncture. The tyres are standard on my 2001 93 ... 'Michelan Pilots Primacy' Never going to get those things again at replacement. I think the MIDDLE groove is just too damn wide... and we HATE a wide middle groove right ;-) Anyway, there's some frustration from me and just a bit of advice. And yep, they're the directional tyres also, probably simliar to what you've ordered. Hey, nice ride, nice tyre, but does lightening really strike twice??? Good luck. Davo
