I never been very much in very wide tires. Less now than ever. But many of you are still in “as wide as possible” tires, often asking me where they can find these monstruous tires they have seen in magazines. If it’s not an Avon or Metzeler tire, and if the size is beyond the “reasonable” it can only come from a company called Vee Rubber. As their slogan says, this tires manufacturer is the pride of Thailand, is stating that it already invaded the Asian market and succeeded to enter the US market just a few years ago by showing off their huge donuts during the Cincinnati & Indianapolis Dealers Shows. Quite interesting, Vee Rubber America also take orders for custom tires in a variety of sizes and widths. Lettering? Color anyone?

Excess is always ugly
Cyril, for once you and I agree.They are stupid, ulgly, and dangerous.,
They also make 23″ front tires.
“…..They are stupid, ulgly, and dangerous.,”
also very expensive
Damn, I like a little rubber ! But now that`s just down right Idiotic ,( and ugly ).
Nothings exceeds like excess. 2 years ago, everyone was clammoring for a 360 tire. Today, we have a hard time selling anything for a new build on a big tire frame. Who wants to spend too much money on a bike that is that hard to corner, let alone ride for recreation? Building a bike that is fun to ride is part of the current wave that I see and I think that it is a great part of getting back to basics. Instead of rolling sculpture, most of the builders that I meet want to build bikes that are functional, fun to ride and affordable.
Hey, if a poser, which is who I believe will be most of the purchasers of this assanine thing will be, does anyone really think this is going to hit the pavement?

EZ, you’re on it. Excess is in the boneyard.
As beeing an “Old School-guy” , I just can shake my head…
Funny!!!
it is a known fact that a fat tire will not get you any more girls than a more narrow tire! peace
Well, some bikes are built as a design exercise.
So the intent is to convey a specific theme, or elicit a specific emotional response.
Beyond that there is no intent to serve any utilitarian purpose.
For example, if a designer/builder targets a Pro-Street and Top Fuel drag bike theme, obviously, a big tire (may be even a wheelie bar) is necessary.
Having said that, the theme needs to “make sense”….
Just hanging a big, out of proportion, tire on a any bike, makes no sense (to me anyway).
Lets face the truth. Those of you who have customers, you know this:
There is no relationship between the “ability to pay” – “propriety” and a “sense of style.”
Hell, look at Donnald Trump……………. 🙂
