    Nice work guys!!

    I just hope people don't Bittch out when there available again and piss them off...

    Always seems like people want things but when it's time to get out the wallet it's like pulling teeth, without anesthesia......

    Great group effort

    That's the same generic response I got. Whoever A. Wittmeyer is, he or she is an idiot. We sent this person a message expressing our displeasure over a tire being discontinued and they reply with "the tire has been discontinued".

    I truly hope that they re-release them but I'm leaving my unused 576 on the sideline until I have one in my hands.

    Well Phil from Goodyear called me again today and apparently somebody in Japan (where the tires are made) has gotten rid of the mold or something. It can't be found which means the tire really is gone forever.

    He told me about someone he knows that can possibly help us out by reproducing it. He's going to talk to that guy and if he can do it somebody will be calling me.

    Jesus Crisp, they ALREADY threw out the friggen mold??

    I gotta say that it's all about the $$ and brand name loyalty doesn't mean crap... Apparently these tires do not sell well and they dumped them. Honestly, how many tires would we buy? My front tire lasted like 20 friggen years!! So, we go nuts and buy 100 when and if they make them again, and what about the next year....
