I talked to Wallace at the convention abut these tires. First off, he needs commitment for 100 of them before STA will make them. I told him that most of the guys would really like them to have the interupted chevron type thread, and he says he was told by STA that they thought the molds were for a US type nondirectional. They are not sure however. Wallace says the company has the molds in a pile of molds, but they are expected to clean up the pile soon and have a better look at them. Anyway, he asked about getting a photo of the tires so I sent him a photo of one of mine. He is going to forward it to STA for them to compare with the molds. I told him I would like that pattern of tire, but all in all I could not afford to be too choosy and would have to live with what they have.
So the big thing here is for guys to let him know you are interested, and in how many. The sooner the company has interest in 100, the sooner they will get around to making them. Email Wallace at wallacewade at earthlink.net and let him know.
Here are the photos I sent him:
