Default Nebraska tire blems?

Some folks say they're fine with just the letters buffed off, some say they have other defects, including HL employees in regards to the radial outlaws. They have these tires for $45 a piece, which is pretty darn cheap. Some have said they have holes drilled and patched. Anyone have experience with them?

As for nebraska tires-- I have 7 other friends who I ride with and they all have purchased their tires from Nebraska Tires and all have had good luck with them so far. The blemishs are cosmetic and have nothing to do with the construction of the tire.Cannot imagine a 6 ply tire " just coming apart on the trail"!They sell thousands of these tires each year.The only one who had problems was a guy who ripped the sidewall out.This was not the tires fault. We looked these tires over good when they were delivered and besides that the name (TITAN 589) was buffed off there were no other marks we could find. At the price they got them for you could buy 2 sets and still save some bucks. As for me when my Rawhides wear out I will too be sending for a set from them.

pete, this is a specific HL radial outlaw blem issue. My buddy just got his and there was a big slice, like as if with a razor blade, about 10 inches across the sidewall. Needs to be replaced. Other than that, the tires look ok, but he has a horrible wobble over 30mph. They are probably out of round. Highlifter employees have stated that these tires were defective and supposed to be scrapped.

I got a pair of Fast Trekkers for my son's 300ex, he's been running the k-rap out of them,with no problems. At first, I was skeptical about the buffed off brand names, thought it was odd, but it doesn't affect the performance of the tire at all, and at 25 bucks a tire, I can't complain. I've done high speed runs down the road,no tire wobble,no handling problems. I even called Nebraska tire about the buffed off names, he apologized for not having that info in the ad they put in Dirt Wheels, that info is on their web site, and even offered to refund my money if the tires didn't totally please me. If they sell that cheap, and totally back up their product, then I have no problem with that !!!

I bought a set of Titan 589's from Nebraska Tire 2 weeks ago. I finally was able to mount my tires today. It took me awhile to get my wheels from Highlifter "2 weeks". Anyway, the tires are FLAWLESS. They ride GREAT, this is the best tire deal "hands down"! So, I'd say in my opinion if you need tires look up NEBRASKA TIRE and order them up! $200.00 delivered to your door!

i tested the new radial outlaws for highlifter before they got booted all together. all i can say is im glad i got this set of 27's to test they are bad to the bone. lighter and smooth as glass. its a shame they pulled the plug. i learned neb tire does not have permission to sell these tires. the reason they have holes drilled in them is because highlifter drilled them before returning them to titan for credit and titan turns around and sells them as scrap rubber. they have been threatened with a law suite but most important is those rejet tires ARE NOT SAFE. trust me i know. i have done alot of testing for them and learned alot. they are not safe.
