Makes them more like conventional tires, then. <G>
I had some motorcycle tires with in-line grooves and they were excellent on
most pavement until the engineers began to introduce "tramline" sorts of
grooves to the concrete pavement over bridges and so forth. Now most
motorcycle tires have lateral, curved grooving. Good design, though I
don't like the looks of them as much.
My uncle's Harley-Davidson, a 1947 knucklehead, had flat tires on it. They
were great. You could ride it over snow and ice pellets.
