Nitro Sedan Tire Blowout
Seem like some Hong Kong shops have been taking a chunk of tires sales from US shops. As a result our sales of Take Off Foam tires have slowed down. We have a few thousand tires in stock that are priced too high so we decided to blow them out.
While supplies last all Take Off foam tires will sell for $8.99 per pair. These are premium tires not cheapies. The have more traction than Nitro Shoes with better wear.
Dealers fee free to call us as will will discount them so you too can retail them for $8.99.

I totally agree, however if I can get a better price (ie 5.99 to $8) for a set of foams I too would buy overseas. One LHS sells sedan foams (in general) 17.99/pr to $23/pr
some Shops just rob when it comes to some prices

26mm tires are made from front tire rubber, 28 and 30mm are rear rubber.
This isn't the computer industry where a company can sell tens of thousands of hard drives all day at a 2% margin. Manufactureres need to get paid, distributord need to get paid and hobby shops have to pay for buildings, parts, staff, etc. This Hong Kong thing will not last forever. A few major companies are dropping the HK shops or having them sign contracts that they will not sell into the US market.
Take Off and Schumacher spent thousands of dollars developing these tires. They are awesome but when we sell out we are done. We made a superior product but could not match the HK prices...so we sell at a small loss and dissapear from the market until thinks change.

"More traction than Nitro Shoes with less wear?" Come on Adrian, you've got to be kidding.

Jack - My comment is just relayed from racers that have tried them. You know foam way better than me but these things are crazy. I dont know what Take Off makes them out of. All I know is that when I asked them to come down on prices that said it was impossible. Maybe its some crazy compound other companies had too much sense to try due to cost. Regardless....we are no threat to you. Once these are gone we are done with the foam tire game.
Multi rings are made up of ~5mm layers of foam glued toghter. This forms a structure in the tire that reduces sidewall flex. They have less side bite than a standard tire in the same compound.
