Anyone ever heard of this brand before? Cycletreads has apparently just got some in and they are pretty cheap. Are they the American version of Shinko's?
$350 for a set of good tyres seems too good to be true....

ChocolateWheels - Possibly the first (EX) GN rider to overtake a CBR600RR LEGITIMATELY and EX holder of the GN250 Land Speed Record.
Hmmm - - lets all do a whip around and buy Carver a set to try out on the GSXR.
Pretty sure we will receive a no-holding-back review from him with a vid of a mighty burnout.
I also predict that at those prices you will see lots of bikes for sales on Trademe wearing them: 'brand new rear/front sport tyre....'
They are actually made in korea... lol
Ya get what ya pay for.
Why ruin a perfectly good bike with junk tyres ?
I will not try put those on my everyday bike. maybe on my stunt bike when I get it so i can do burnouts at heart and not brake the bank.
lol should see the crap shit tyres that are on my vfr at the moment.. what its like to be poor .....
Priorities like food are coming first recently.
" yah trick yah "
I also had a shinko stealth. It was a really good tyre.
Choco buy a set and try them.
They don't appear to be W rated so may not be safe over 240km/h. Of course that may not be an issue for the average punter.
Personally I value my life and bike more the few hundy I'd save running bottom tier tyres. They might be ok on a lower powered bike but can't see them being anywhere near as sticky as PP/M3/BT-016/etc.
EDIT: Looks like they're made in the USA... http://www.fullboretires.com/index.html
If I was Metzeler I'd be pissed that they're calling their tyres M1 and M3.
Well I have bought a set
345 fitted
If there no good ill go back and get some better ones
They said they would do me a good deal on my next set if I do a review for them
They didn't try to sell them to me and didn't claim any thing
Was very disappointed in the Dunlops I had, rear gone at 3000k
So far seem OK (100km) but I am not a hard rider and havnt tried them in the wet
will update
