    Everyone in Miami only use these tires for street drag. Only the bikes not haven't too much power. I'm sorry but I don't see the return in investment if you ask me. Now having a different name everyone is going to be saying its a china copy and etc...

    This whole deal is dumb. Aside from being a bad investment in the first place, they don't even have the right name on em. They might sell just because they are tires. Other than that I can't see anybody serious wanting the wrong brand on tires that are basically being marketed as restoration parts. Really, really dumb.

    In my opinion.

    On the other hand, you go girl! Oops I mean boy, Boy Boy Boy.

    Quite honestly I couldn't care less if they have a different name on them as long as the tread pattern is the same. However I do believe it wasn't a wise investment.

    I love these tires (the oem ones). If they're anything like oem, even close I'll be buying a few sets.

    Well best of luck to you guys and ten other people that will want them. Then of course, only a percentage of those people will purchase.

    That would probably be received more enthusiastically here at 3ww, but who would want to undertake that, especially after all the Debbie Downers here?

    I beg to differ,, as long as the price is right IMO this tire will do very well in the market not only for the sport ATC's which are growing in popularity but this tire fits the sport 4 wheelers also . Who cares what name is printed on the side because this tire has the only tread pattern that looks right on the 3 wheelers. I did ask about the KT576 and I really hope this tire sells well for him because it is possible they will be reproed also, we will see. I fully support anyone making anything that Honda discontinued and I can't wait to see how this pans out!

    The ONLY tread pattern that looks right on 3 wheelers huh. Lol. Ok.

    It'll just be another choice of tire. There are lots of great patterns for all types of riding.

    I wish the guy well if he wishes the same for others. From what I've read from other members, he's kind of a Richard. That alone will hinder sales.
