Fullbore USA tyres?

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....

Linky...

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....'

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.

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
