Default tasmania roads - tyre/brakes business booming?

guys we just came back from a weeks holiday in tassie. launceston to strahan then hobart. i recon the longest stretch of straight road was 150-200 metres for the whole week. it was hairpins, switchback corners and long flowing sweepers the whole way. hour after hour. to get roads like that in SA the closest is from the 20 kms from meadows to strathalbyn or the cape jervois drive. this was endless. im sure there has been tassie drives mentioned before but i underestimated how good it was.

i was thinking that it would have been a lot more fun to do than the nissan micra we took.....but some of those roads only just fit the little bugga.

getting back to my thread title...i have no doubt that the brakes and tyre business there are booming.
