they might!!!!

I'd like to see a tire manu. step up and hand out deals stating if: If u run our tire and stickers and have a puncture with more than 60%tread left we will warrrant that tire by allowing 50% off the next pair of tires. sounds like a good idea, anyone listening??????

U 2 sissy's arent capable of testing anything but a good case of the ***:macho

Ok, fine. I'm beginning to think that these are just another slightly different tire from ITP. I was hoping from Coach's comments that there might be some new anti-flat technology.

I kind of agree. I see a different tread pattern which has beefy knobs on the outer edges I'm guessing to compete with the Razr2. I seen someone mention 6 ply, well that's a definite but nothing different than previous XC and XCR tires.:confused:

Someone point out the H-D part of this tire and is there anything different besides the tread. :cool:




Pappy you gettin kikked up in GA.....:mad:
Pappy
02-19-2004, 08:26 AM
i hope it is a better tire then the old holeshot in regards to flats. i like ITP so dont get me wrong, but when we switched brands the flats stopped.

id like to see them design a tire that is damn near flat proof with a price tag that is reasonable

Ive seen some killer ideas for run flat tires...not including the Goodyear run flats....it is just a matter of time before these guys get the weight and price down where it will be feasable for a sport tire.

And Pappy that comment about the 2 sissys...that was great:D

The New ITP tires is much different than a typical XC holeshot. It is a true 6 Ply Tire, and it will be extremely puncture resistant and the side walls are stronger than ever.

Also, the tire is almost 21" tall which makes it a large 20" tire for ground clearance and it is slightly wider, but yet it is suppose to still be lighter than the Razor2.

All this was extremely exciting news, and I really believe it will live up to the hype. I have used Razr2 tires, and I think they are a awesome tire, but I think ITP now has a tire that not only can compete, but may have a slight edge.

Either way, it is great to see ITP, Maxxis, and Kenda taking their race tire market serious, and trying to redisgn and improve their tires instead of just making us use what they thought was good 5 years ago. It is mostly driven by market share, but that is great for the racers and the sport.

Hats off to all three companies!

THE HD IS ALSO ALITTLE WIDER THAN THE XC MODEL. THAT WAY YOU DO NOT DROP DOWN IN THE RUTS AS FAR AS YOU DO WITH THE XCR OR XC.

Sounds like a sweet tire! It would be nice if Duvall came on here after the Florida GNCC and give us the test results :cool: .

I think Harlen is going to have a set of them also.

There is no new front tire The xcr front is what they are recommending you use with the HD rear.
