Tomahawk Tires

Just a cheaper alternative for most of us "weekend" riders. I bought a rear T1 and the thing is great! I have been reading reviews from people saying they are lasting 5,000+ miles. Check it out. I paid $59.95 for mine shipped. If you look at the pictures, there is a red 5th gen with red tires on it..Not too bad, but I just went with the black.

those colored tires look pretty cool, but are they any good? does having color in them have any negative effect?

 

Red I hope.

Well, not actually.

And hopefully not camo either...


The retread thing scares me too.

 

They actually have racers that use them. I believe they started with airplane tires. I still don't think I could do the camo tires!

 

I could see like blue tires if I powder coated my rims red or something, to continue the r/w/b scheme... that might be cool

 

I wouldn't be dicing canyons or the track with them, because I like traction.

OK, for a stunter, show bike, or someone who rides with chicken strips.

 

I personally didn't get any colors, just plain black. No problems with them yet. I know they have a race team that runs on the tires that took 2nd place in a 6 hour road course....Can't be that bad if there being ridden like that. I myself don't ride too aggressive, so they fit me just perfect.

 

Just messing with you but was there only 2 bikes in the race:biggrin:


For what you want them for, I'm sure they'll be just fine, it could be possible(but most likely) the team was running a different compound than what is sold.

 

They do sell 3 different tires with different compounds.
