Look what the FedEx guy just lost off his truck at my front door.


Over on ADV there is guys saying this is the best thing ever. some even go as far as say well over 7,500 miles on them.
I thought I would check it out and when I went to pay for it on RevZ. it came up to a whopping $88.00 big ones.
I need something like this around just incase my boy Eric says lets head to Moab, or Ark.
I don't know when I can report back on it but hope some day.

I thought the fronts were $80 and the rear tires were $100? Still cheap though. I plan on trying them and the Mitas MC60 also. Not sure which I will try first yet.

I run the E705 radials and love them. they do well on dirt and street and I get decent mileage out of them. They are not a K60, but hold their own.

I think it said $103.00 but at check out it totaled at $88.00. I didn't complain.

Looks pretty aggressive. That 7500 miles must have been on a light bike. ??? I love the Kenda Big Blocks for off pavement, but I only got 2500 or so out of the rear when I had to toss it on for a pavement ride, (bad leak, only new tire in the garage was the Kenda. And we were supposed to leave that morning... Wife was a bit pissed at the delay while I swapped tires)

It will be nice to see some Super Ten longevity numbers when people wear them out.

88 Buck's for a rear!

Looks dirty enough too!

Who needs long life for $88? I just need it to throw a good roost for 88!
Sweetest.

Hey Combo, we got room in your shed? Lol

Nope. Never seen one in person. But I'm itching to now.
I still got a stack of Big Blocks to burn through. But no rules against trying a Shinko between Big Blocks.

Hmm..no such luck for me. I think maybe they had their calculator wrong at the time you ordered and forgot to add the upcharge for the bigger rear tire size and you got it for price of the front??

Be sure and post back later your review like EricV requested. Very interested in this tire if it returns at least equal life as a TKC80.

Did you have some "Revzilla-bucks" that they cashed in for you? A discount is a discount. But next time you want a quick review, ship it straight to Snakebitten. He can hardly wait to spoon on his next tire, or yours...
