really hope this thing works out so I can give a good review and maybe we can
all have a lower cost alternative to Dunlop and Metzler.

This post was meant to add on to a previous post.
Prior to a trip to Las Vegas, I decided to replace my rear tire. A small shop in
So. Cal. was highly recommended, so I called them. Said they didtn have the
correct size Dunlop in stock, and Metzelers are too expensive. They sold me a
brand called "Full Bore". I'm sure its another example of China getting into
EVERYTHING.

anyway, I was extremely happy with the ride and handling of the tire. About a
week after buying it, i was doing some maintenance and noticed that there were
cracks in the treads. Went back to the shop, and they replaced it. I did not
check the date/age of the tire. Probably should.

So far, almost about 1,000 miles on the replacement and no defects noted.

I will periodically keep the group updated.
