Faster, near 8th and I-25. $10 a tire, off the bike, if you mention you're a CSC member.

Look up Dean of Kim-n-Dean, he's Aurora and will do it for $10 off the bike also. He's very careful with rims and balances perfectly every time.

You're my hero Dean!:siesta:

Last I heard Tomahaks were all re-treads, not newly manufactured tires. They use the worn carcases of several different brands of tires and the profiles may or may not match. At this point I cannot consider them a serious sport tire.

after yesterday, I don't recommend leaving the tires in car all day when it's chilly out... you're gona struggle little mounting them on the rim and trying to get them to bend.

Well he's faster than me, but my guess is that he'd be faster on Cheng Shins and a honda elite scooter than I would be on the best tire one of the majors made and a fine superbike. Fast guys are fast guys, sometimes it comes down to who will pay you to ride their product. That being said the Tomahawks don't seem to be holding him back any.

Hahaha, yeah, back in Ca when I was hanging out at AFM races we were all shocked that he was using Tomahawks. At least he doesn't run with the crazy colors. Just uses the regular black ones. I'v always loved his checkered flag helmet scheme.
