Good work Aaron
Just one thing but Ollie, you sell them, maybe not for any great profit I know but I dont think that allows you to be completely neutral, they are cheap thats why people buy them and as far as grip goes loamy, most tyres grip, muddy when I used it was the Watagans Christmas Party (it was brand new) and it definitely was no S12 Michelin, hard pack dry grip was ok but wore out to fast compared to others I use on my 650 as you put it!
But an option for people for sure

TB has said he didnt like the rear retreads,thats his opinion and he is entitled to it. My 38 years of riding and racing I would have to say Metzeler MC5 rear MC4 front awsome tyre combo and my all time favorite setup,My RMX still has a set of them on it. Pirelli tyres are good, some bridgestone and Dunlop 752 are good. Michellin are Ok not as good as People pretend them to be(my opinion only)Motoz are crap,kenda are good for the first ride as soon as the knobs are rounded over throw em away. I started using Recross retreads years ago and really liked them,the shop I bought them from (xrsrus)closed down so I became an agent for MXretreads, My honest opinion on these is they aint no Metzeler, But then again I aint no Chad Reed either,I expect a tyre that I can get at least 10 good rides out of,when its rooted I replace it,I dont say Oh ive just paid $139 for this I could get another couple of rides out of it.Ive got 8 bikes in the shed and it costs a bit to keep tyres up to them,the retreads help keep my costs down, all of the cases I get are quality brands not cheap rubbish. I have plenty of repeat customers and the only person who has shown his dislike for them is TB his opinion only,( I saw the tyre and I understand his concern, but remember he is on a worked XR6fitty and he doesnt mind spinning it up:woohoo:) others have raved about them, and for $75 bucks each,well there is enough change left over for a case of piss. I have found that the tread pattern is particularly suited to loam and sandy conditions,Mud goes well also. Anyway thats my 4c worth

Love the smell me self, sometimes use a bit in the fiddy as it freaks a dickhead I know out because he thinks I am running racing fuel lol
