:O how could you do that to the bike
I am not a big fan of tyre socks, they make stilts look tatty

You rightfully dark-castles2, I could do it with the tires of the bike, I used those of "Vespa" because they are much more durable and last longer.
I do not go crazy for it like you but where I live is not easy to buy them cheap and would not be convenient to sort through this website, and then somehow I try to remedy the problem.
