bboyrise investing $85K to remake the Dunlop Kt577 tire

[86T3]

Yea, but it gets to be a pain in the a*s after a while.

Its a shitty job, but someone has to do it.

All this seems headed down the toilet

I buy globally for a living. Many (not all) Chinese are unscrupulous as are some Mexicans, Canadians and Americans.

I have found my client's patented products on the display shelf of a potential supplier that was ready to sell them to whoever wanted with the name changed. I have also been offered "Made in the USA" decals with items I buy. And rubber quality??? Yea, what you see in the USA is crap. It comes down to what people want to pay, most US buyer want cheap, cheap cheap. The good stuff costs the same over there as it does in the USA, so no one buys it for export, but Chinese cars & trucks come with good tires when you buy them there. The exporters look at it as "sell it cheap today and let the sucker spend the money to make it right later on". The Chinese can make ANYTHING, including spaceships, but aside from labor (which is now substantially higher than Mexico) most of what goes into a product cost the same as the USA.

I agree maxxis tires are owned by cheng shin they seem to be doing very well .I have never owned any maxxis tires but seems like most of the four wheeler guys use them and I don't think there cheap .I have owned cheng shin atv tires they have been making them forever they seem to be pretty nice tires. I think cheng shin even makes car and truck tires now branded under the maxxis name.

Alright...


i'm officially ready to say EFF THIS GUY!

harassing me on here, and on facebook? WTF. he blew up my profile page on here a few months ago and now hes private messaging me on facebook after not accepting his friend request.

Gorilla marketing? dude... piss off.

the tires are whatever, the guy is a tool and a half.

[Afrothunderkat]

Hahahahahaha, this guy. His facebook posts are hilarious. I PM'd him about the ply of tires he was selling, he said 4 ply. Also claims the dunlop's where 4 ply. I didn't argue, not worth my time. I knew it was a scam the moment he started posting. He has 85k to spend on rubber but can't use proper grammar and spelling. MUST BE A BARGIN!

[bkm]

What ever came of this?

[fabiodriven]

If I'm not mistaken, I believe he did get these tires produced and they are available.

[fordnut79@hotma]

Anybody use them yet. Any reviews or opinions?

[thcowboy]

So what is the difference between four ply and two ply. Im confused

A two ply tire has more flex to it. Works well on trails, flexes well over bumpy terrains. The downside is that they puncture easily. A 4 ply is more durable and puncture resistant. Weights probably a pound or two more. Doesn't flex as well as a two ply at the same operating pressure. From my experience if you want to do slide around corners, a two ply is better. I worked with all terrain vehicle tires for 20 years and know almost every tire that was made. Ohtsu, Goodyear and Dunlop are no longer available, so if you do find any of these NOS (new old stock) tires be aware they are probably at least 8-10 years old, which is old for a tire. I work at a tire store so any tire questions can be sent my way.

Here is his last Facebook post:

Cheetah Tires They should be in soon. Tires got delayed because of a strike at long beach port with employees. It's all over the news. This has never happened to our shipments. There is no way to rush the port custums. We apologise for the inconvenience and will have you up to date on our shipment status. Again we apologise, thanks in advance for your patients.
