IMHO it's a fair point.
The name of the tyre seems to have changed, and perhaps by luck still has the word 'spike' in it. It could have easily changed to 'poo fingers' or 'dib dabs' (like crazy 8th tyres)
It wouldn't be a problem if BB still only had one type of 'spike' tyres.
Anyway, the best thing to do in situations like this Tom is email Paul and Charlie (and maybe even Phil).
Cheers,
