350x Ohtsu Rear Tires, NOS (not dunlops!)

Ebay Ad (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230596440479&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_563wt_958)

This guy had several sets. There were 2 sets left when I found it..... Only one set left now :p

Needed a pair to match my perfect Ohtsu front on the 350x :p

I really hope this isn't a Padilla stunt

[cattle-dog]

it is a new account and he does have multiple accounts so is it possible yes.

[yooperman]

I spotted them also but I'm contimplating trading my 350x for a 85 250r.

I got the conformation from Paypal, Guys name is Jeff Olney. Everything looks legit plus one person already received their tires and gave positive feedback.

At just under 100$ a tire I can't complain at all. Wish I had the money to buy both pairs.

What is dumb are these people bidding this pair up past 190$ +32 for shipping. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Honda-atc-350x-250r-200x-OEM-rear-tires-/220751607520?pt=Motors_ATV_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3365d236e0#ht_500wt_975

I need a set for my areanacross trike!:Bounce

Just go to your Honda dealer and order a set for half the money (55.00/tire). Doesn't anyone try that first????? They are still available. Yes, they are Ohtsus.

:facepalm: I may have just tossed $80

How can there still be Ohtsu tires available? Is there just an immense pile of them somewhere? The Dunlop KT577A that is on my 85' 250R is not the same as the Ohstu. The Ohtsu is much more round. Are they selling the KT577A rebadged with Ohtsu on the side of it?

I was under the impression that Ohtsu was no longer making atv tires and is owned by Falken, 2005 was the end. I was also under the impression that Dunlop bought the molds. Dunlop can't make the tires and stamp Ohtsu on them can they?

Guess I will have to toss these tires in the closet for 10 years till they are worth what I paid. Maybe I am lucky and these are one of the last sets.

What a dummy

[rdlsz24]

Oh well, someday they will be discontinued. It is confusing, what is no longer available and what is. Dunlop, Ohtsu, ahhhhhhh!

You gotta kind of watch people on ebay claiming suff is NOS and discontinued. There are several things guys try and pass off as NOS and jack the price up 25-50%. The '86 250r on/off switch is another on ebay going for $110 and you can get it from honda for about 75-80 bucks.

What sucks is Easymoney1979 (my buddy who lives above the garage) and I were having our typical bickering argument over Honda/Kawi and OEM/aftermaket going on. He was arguing that they could still be bought and I was telling him off saying only the Dunlop tires could be bought.

I hate it when he is right.

Must be the karma chicken pecking me for stealing that 350x and being such a Mr knowitall. :wondering

[Dirtcrasher]

The OHTSU 22" is still available with some wait time, the front is gone for good as well as the 20" 250R OHTSU P/V tires.........

I have a near new set of 20" tires stashed away :D

[ezmoney1979]

Dont feel bad for Bret- I told him repeatedly these tires were still available yesterday before he clicked BIN. I was searching for a thread I read recently where guys had bought them (new OEM Big Red tires also) and was going to show it to him but he was in some kind of delusion from just getting that nice 350X. He told me "dont worry about it, dont you have a stupid Kawasaki to go work on". So, as if we dont have enough tires stacked all around, we will have a set of "rare" Ohtsus to trip over as well.:lol:

Yes but he keeps the van above the garage when it's raining too hard.




Easy solution, wait til these few sets of tires are sold, then turn around and put yours up for sale.

Haha I guess I should say he lives in the house next door. My property is three split lots; one is the yard, middle is the house, and the other side is the parking and house with the garage on the bottom that we share. They get cheap rent and I get cool neighbors with trikes!

I will have to buy another pair before selling these. I have a bad tire addiction and these still are awesome! They need to be on the 350xtrailprotrailpro
