Aye, they're re-moulds/re-threads alright.
On the plus side though, they have just moved to a new factory

I don't use them myself, but someone I know and trusts couriers on them on a CB-1 and he swears by them. He reckions they are at least as grippy as your average OEMs for that bike.

Stay away from them, they are not remoulds, they are reconstituted tires - rubber is put on in layers over an old worn out tyres. Lethal dangerous. Friend bought a blade last year and it had a set on, the fcuking things started to fall apart on the first decent spin we went out on and nearly killed him

THEY ARE NOT REMOULDS, they are [color=red][b]WORSE[/color] than remoulds.
They are worn out tyres that have new rubber applied to them in layers. Only nutters would use them.
