    Default Don't know..!!

    have not heard much. They looked good and I believe Ann (squared Away) had a set for a while. Then there was a spec issue but would like to hear from those that had used them...

    I just mounted a set on mine and hope to get good results. Worth a try, OEM too expensive.

    Never heard of them


    An unheard of tire company is not something I want to be a guinea pig for.

    I put a pair on the front of my 08 GS and although I only have about 500 miles on them I have no issues other than I had to take one of them to a tire shop to get it to seat.

    I had an Arachnid on the rear and I got about 8,000 miles on it. I believe that they (Zee Rubber) are working on a new compound/tire as the original one was not rated for the weight of an RT. While some people had issues with the tire slipping on the rim, I had no problems with the one that I had, and it handled great much like a Kenda in that regard. I currently am running a Kumho on the rear and I do not like it in the rain but as many of you know, they will last more than twice as long as a Kenda.

    What do you have on the front? I have Federal Evos on the front and the Kumho on the rear and I hydroplane a lot.
