    I have 15", 16", 17", and 18". How the hell am I supposed to reply to this survey? 8-) Suppose I should be pleased that it apparently qualifies me as sane.

    Mine came with 15" basketweaves and I was thinking of getting some 18" Style 37 M-Para's.
    But OEM's were out of this world cost wise (about $4,500.00 AUD new) and replicas were too heavy. And 18"'s aren't going to ride all that well on 'normal' roads.
    For a short time I considered some 17" Style 5's but they're hard to come by over here S/H (new price again around $4,000.00 AUD) and they're also a pig to clean.
    Finally I found a set of genuine 17" T-Stars on Ebay with good tyres for $1,500.00 AUD ($1,100.00 USD) and the rest is history!

    If they haven't upgraded to normal sizes by now, there's something wrong with them TRX tyres are expensive and rare as hell.

    Our roads are so crook that the lower profile tyres required on anything larger than 15 inch means damaged rims.
    More choice in tyres too, but I don't agree that they are cheaper.
