Never measured the new against the old one's, but the 'knobbles' do look a bit longer on the latest one

So was just wondering do I save me M15 or get a M16 to bed in like.
Different makes of tyre stamp the same size but are different, tried a semi used mousse M14 in a 6 days tyre once  & wouldn't stay rimmed.

I use m14 in 6 days & never had any problems. Try your m15 in comp 6 and has long has it olds bead out it will be ok , which it should be ok if only used twice

Yeah thats what i prefer & i use mich mousses. Rear 6 days carcass is stiffer than it used to be so i find it is at its best with part worn mousse. Front is good with new mousse, But see the 6 days just might like 2 strokes, thats why that 525 4t lump eats them
