regardless of them being a retread or not. they are in fact safer than a your average dunlop or michelin because of the xray tests and other tests that are done to each tire in order to ensure their quality. they are put through more testing than a band new dunlop or michelin. and are built in essence the same way as one of those tires.

doesnt mean you wont get one that is improperly balanced or lop sidded once in awhile, but again that happens with any tire manufacturer

+1 retreads go through a lot more safety checks that a regular off the line tire.

Re: Tomahawk tires

no it was not a new dunlop qualifer..

i have tomahawk stickers all over my bikes, i use tomahawk tires on my bikes, tomahawk logos on my website, trailer and new posters... i have about 30 tomahawk tires in my garage...


what the hell kind of tire do u think i was running? lol


they are a great alternative tire to someone that cries about money (stunters) and probably cant tell the difference between two tires anyways (stunters)

i dont care if you like em, or use em.. dont... doesnt hurt my feelings.. lol

im just saying.. if your interested to try em out and dont wanna waste the cash it costs for a new dunlop qualifer.. then.. i dunno.. try em.

i personally dont mind em.. but whatever

yeah and do you know how many miles they have on them?? How much weight they've transported?? That's just an ignorant statement right there. Do some research most tractor trailer trucks are running retreads and if you consider the # of trucks, 18 tires each, to the number you see on the road, you'd understand that you're an idiot!!
