Here's a pic of the tread pattern. Thoughts? ???
-
The Goodyear Kelvars are also directional... kinda of the same and people love them...
-
When something works your going to have other companies try and imitate. They look less street friendly, but they could be good off the road
...Who's making these?
-
I would think that they would be good on the street for tread wear and still have some high void areas for the mud, but a guy has to wonder is they would tend to side track in some situations with one half the tire being grippy and being directional the grip side would be on the same side for all the tires. Just my $.02
Directionals aren't new
Geolandars and X-terrains have been around for quite a while, and kuhmo kl-71 have been around for a while as well.
I haven't ran a set but the kuhmo but they look like they'd be decent off road, not sure if they'd have enough contact on road to get decent wear though.

Ummm, BOGGERS, and don't forget claws and iroks

My guess is Interco, Nitto, Goodyear, and BFGoodrich got wasted at a swinger's convention and had a bastard child?
This tire is just a joke if I were to wager a guess . The whole " Frankentire" was a dead giveaway.
-
Noel, why did you have to go and ruin my fun. :(
And yes, there is a cactus on the doorstep of the factory where that tire is made.
-
What makes these tires different is the AT tread worked in with Lugs with serious voids, directional is far from new, but this hybrid tire idea is, so far the Kevlars are the only real hybrid tire I know of. Duratracs are kind of along the same thinking just more AT biased. I wouldn't take these type of tires too lightly they seem to work pretty well even if the Franken tire is a bit much I believe the concept is sound.

I have had the KL71s on my XJ for over 3 years now. Daily driving for most of those years, along with weekly trips between calgary and Edmonton. They have seen their fair share of Mclean and waiperous in both summer and winter. Ive been really impressed with them, but on the ice and hard pack snow, they are like wearing tennis shoes. No siping whatsoever. Otherwise, offroad and in the snow and mud, love em. Also give that nice hum on the highway ;) As for wear, they are not bad on my rig at 27psi. I didnt rotate them for the first 6 months though so one of them started to scallop.. H0wever now that they are at the correct PSI and being rotated they are all at about 30 to 40% tread left.

Are those inner lugs winged-skulls???
Man, I want some skulls on my tires...that's just badass.

Dick Cepek makes the " Crusher" and it has skull & bones for sidebiter lugs. That crap might float your boat?
Check out the " Fierce Attitude " tires that JK folk seem to gravitate to. Barbed- wire on the sidewalls for better Pam Anderson/ over-tanned guy at the gym gayness.

WTF is with associating those things with JK's, Noel. There are way more of those on rig rockets than on JK's. ;D

Ummmm....NO !
Diesel folk rock Toyos my friend. Slight blemish to such an awesome tire.
The JK forums were all abuzz about the" Fierce Attitude " <frack I can't even say that without laughing to myself>tires as they were available in 17" and up sizes for the Cali/ Flat bill/ Tapout crowd. Not a knock at JK's (even though the XJ crowd owes you)
-
You guys crack me up!!!! :o ::) ;D

This post just made my day. We need a like button.

wow.

In all seriousness... I fuggin LOVE Tapout and tires with skulls, heres why;
Me, personally, I'd rather slam my c_ck in a door then have a Tapout sticker on my Jeep. Hell.... I'd even take a running start and give Rosie O'Donnell a good ol uppercut to the ovaries with it over having tires with skulls. And thats what makes the skinny jeans, t-shirts to tight, white sunglasses to match the shoes, Tapout wearing @ssclowns so important. It makes the rest of us not seem like helmet kids. If I'm having a rough day, maybe its gas, maybe the burrito I had for lunch is workin out the turd cutter too much... whatever it may be; I really feel better when I pull up beside some Metro sexual in his Buick H2 wrapped in Toyo MTs worn down to absof_ckin nothin from not much more then drivin to the bar with Lady Gaga or some other queer @ss sh_t pumpin through his 38" sub powered by a nuclear power plant that cost more then my Jeep did, so he can sit out front and woo the ladies with his too tight tapout t-shirt, the pants that he could barely squeeze a f_ckin toe threw, let alone an entire foot and show off his incredibly white, Mr.Clean magic erased shoes in hopes of catchin a little back seat date or at the very least snarf her seat when she gets up to throw up the chicken wing she just ate... god forbid she gains a gram!
Yup... these people, tapout, skull tires and all are so very important to society, its like right and wrong, helmet kids and prodigies. Without THAT side of things, what would the rest of be like? Just like them.... even if they didn't do that silly @ssclown sh_t, The potentials there, and thats enough. We need that seperation for society to exist.
Love the tires.... can't hit market soon enough!
-
As far as sidewall crap, don't forget the interco M-16's with bullets on their sidewall, just incase your gunrack doesn't fit in your ride
-
I bet these tires would work awesome with just a front locker! ;D

Trevor ( Immortal ) has one installed in his Jeep.
Further proof of his former man-on-man career in the adult < boom-chicka-boom boom > career . I mean " instructional purposes only alternative-lifestyle marital aids"

I thought he had it changed out to a piece of silicone rubber that was shaped oddly enough like a sausage. It was softer on his hands apparently... Being a plumber and all he needs to take care of the money makers.

Must be somethin to it then. Personally... I like to measure troll penis, or something like that.

Pffffttttt.... no skull knobs. Skulls on the steering wheel, seat covers, and on the floor mats. Hell there is even 13s in there too!!! Yes, that's right, my favorite number is 13, so my wonderful wife bought me some Lucky 13 shwag. I have been pimpin the 13 and skull (<--------- check out that bitchin' avatar!!) stuff longer than Noel has been dating girls that can legally buy alcohol.
To each there own. Obviously there is a market for skulls, painted on jeans, and all that Tapout stuff. If there wasn't, there wouldn't be any of that stuff around for long.
Simon..... $1100

Now that we've heard what the Yota guys have to say, maybe we should ask a Jeep owner?
-
that thing is pure sex! Add the license plate and the starbucks in the background.... perfect! Im gonna go grow the baddest motherf_ckin moustache youve ever seen, pick up a sweet pair of aviators and start saving my pennies to build one. Do they still make fanny packs?
No idea if the tires are sweet or not... doubt he does either but flames AND skulls?? F_CK YA! Turn down the suck and turn up the rad!!
Heres the sweetest gummer youll ever see:

....it's for sale

Even the Hummer guys are have a laugh at it ;D
The tiny little chrome gas can and the lights in the hood scoop struck me as the most comical things.

The flame pattern gives better fuel millage and melts the ice in the winter... that's what i've heard.

In lack a of a gun rack ; why not have a wet napkins rack?

I've seen this h2 many times, it still turns my stomach. It's been parked at national for awhile now. To each their own I guess.
