Specialized Tyre advert...

Monty Dog

Does the prophetic claim that "you will die before the tyres" finally an admission from Specialized about the awful grip and handling of Armadillo tyres i.e. ride these tyres in the wet and you'll end up under a bus / in a hedge / over a cliff?

What do you expect from a tyre called Armadillo, the North American nine-banded armadillo tends to jump straight in the air when surprised, and consequently often collides with the undercarriage or bumpers of passing vehicles. There is also an Armadillo called a Screaming hairy armadillo (for the commuters?)

I have to say I too wondered about the stupidity of that advertising slogan
