Sweet, I wonder what the treadwear rating is on those anyway.

I was waiting for that....I'm sure they will come out with more sizes if these do well.

I think those will be worse than BFG's in the wet weather!

Oh well that is what my beater is for!
All hail the new dry traction tires!

I wonder is they wil be competetive in pricing though...

They will probably be a "0" treadwear like the BFG's...and last half as long!

I really think they will wear very very quicly. I got to handle some at the PRI show in Indy last month. They are unbelievably soft. Sponge like almost. But...I bet they grip like a mofo. Early reports are that serious competitors in the various DR classes are all seeing better ETs with these over BFGs. We will see. But ill probably try a set out.
