Default Full Bore USA Tires...WTF?

Anybody ever hear of these tires? Good pricing and made in the U.S.A.

I've seen them down to $180 for a set!

Hmph, I would've bought those instead of the Advance that I did if I had only seen them a week ago.

They look good, and the price is definitely right, but I'd have to know more before I trusted myself to them. I'm really slow to change tire brands- a new manufacturer would have to really impress me to get me to walk away from Michelin.

I'm not arguing! I want someone else to buy them and let me know!

I'd try some no-name brand on a cage and think nothing of it. There's no way I'm slapping some unknown rubber on my bike, though. Tires are too critical for that. I save money by minimizing the mods, not by skimping on something so essential to keeping me upright.

Well,I'll give you one in a couple weeks. I remembered my VERY cheap buddy with a R1 has finally decided to replace his crappy,worn out Shinkos. I called him and volunteered to even mount them for him.
