Good point.
No one on your island (that I know of) is shaping their own tires - tho they have been known to install some unreasonably large ones...

I'm serious! I did a Mille and it was squared off at the end... didn't want to simply chuck them. So propped up the back, ran it in gear at idle and made the tyre rounded again.
