That's a lovely machine, Brian! It's interesting
that it has 2 spare tyres 
(perhaps one for balance) whereas my car has
none (run-flat tyres).

In the days when this machine
was built, many roads were loose gravel (not tar-seal or concrete), many
had sharp flints in the gravel, and tyre technology was not nearly as
advanced as it is today.

Plus, narrow tyres for a heavy machine places
a lot of pressure on the rubber.

Cheers, Brian
