Have any of you tried the K Factory tires? They look cool and come in a sealed bag..
I just ordered a few sets for next weekend in Houston.. I guess I will see for myself soon. Just curious if anyone has tried them...

Just tried these tires today and I notice that the 40 shore K-Factory tires have more grip than Jaco 40s. I like these alot, especially for the price.

its funny how manufacturers always say "better wear than X brand" or "20% less wear"
i'd like to know what they are using as a baseline comparison for these figures.
seems like every manufacturers tyres are X% better wear than the competition.
guys, it's just another foam tyre brand, lol. unless they have figured out a new recipe for a high denisty, high side bite/forward bite foam, it's the same as the rest.
there is only 3 types of foam currently for tyres;
-japanese foam (high rubber content) kawahara, ATS, Active, speedmind etc
-american foam (traditional foam low rubber content, suited better fro carpet)Jaco
-european foam (a moist dense foam which tends to be heavier than the other two types) ie gandinni
the K factory foam is most prob Euro or Jap.

Also you quoted a reply to my comment about needing a tire truer. What did your post have to do with that? Don't you normally have a reply to the passage of test you quoted?
