If it interessed somebody, i wrote to Wrenchmonkees for feedback:
Hi Phil.
You can for sure find a tire with better feedback than the Firestone,
they´re beefy and have quite deep thread.
The 4.50 x 18" is a bit squarish and doesn´t appeal to hard cornering,
but they haven´t let any of us or our customers down yet....!
We´ve lowered the forks and put on some shorter rear shocks, and
managed to get some pretty neutral handling out of the bikes.
And when it´s not mounted on 70-80+ hp bikes, we love them for the looks and fair handling..: )
Best regards
