hi there

i have bought a fair few of these supreme tyres in the past

great to ride on but they usually arrive with the reflective strip all wobbley , placed unevenly around the wheel.

this latest delivery is not so bad , but still it annoys me to pay so much; and it makes my wheel look buckled.

what do you guys think of this strip?

thanks : )

above it is close to the bead
below it is approx twice as far away.

    A wobbly reflective line is still safer than no line ?

    It wouldn't bother me really. I ride the bike more than I look at it.

    Same as cougie - I've got reflective sidewalls on my Contis, and they're a separate strip stuck on with an end that overlaps slightly so never sticks down - bothered - only when I examine it closely and photograph it!
