My scientific measurement consisted of the following precisely calculated and approved method:
Unwrap wheels, marvel at the metal flake glinting in the sunlight, make a mental note of the fact my Conti 235s seem to offer less protection than the Michy 225s, then wheel the things into the gloom of my car's hidey hole, stack them up on top of the ickle 16'' ones until I get them out again to marvel at the metal flakes glinting in the sunlight once the bloody rain stops.
I'd like to keep them in the house as furniture/works of art but despite my protestations to my domestic manager that the meaty rubber protection rims will prevent the light alloy rims marking our finely crafted Wickes Economy Range solid wooden floors (put in at great expense by a true craftsman who was carefully chosen for his credentials - some bloke who my Missus heard about down the school who does cash in hand jobs), she alas decreed the ''the bloody things can stay in the bloody garage with all your other crap''. Hey ho.
