bfg had the scorchers with the stripes on the tread, they looked pretty crappy imo, these tires seem pretty cool, as long as the tires themselves look normal. if the tires are red, i don't like it. if they're black, i think it's pretty cool.

Blarg, looks like I'm on the other side of the fence, in this one... and staying here. I think they are gimmicky as hell -- a stupid thing to do from a tire that is already cheap in my books... now they have a cheap gimmick.
Too bad honda's can hardly spin their tires.

Its because they were expensive... well, more expensive than kuhmo's... THAT is why ricers didnt buy them. The ricer market is retarded, because it rarely takes quality into account.
