General Evertrek

Anyone use this tire?
My ebay deal was a flop on my K-106 and found this local on sale. Seems like a good tire.

Since my tire was discontinued I found the same on ebay slighly used. Still had some tits and the paint on the tread yet. So I thought I scored. It came today and I looked it over and the entire sidewall has a crack the whole way around.

I think you have seven days to file a complaint against the seller if so desired. Make sure its in writing though so and that the Ebay folks get a copy.
I made that mistake with a vintage outboard that I purchased from a fellow a couple hours South. He said the engine was in super mechanical condidion and it turned out to have had a con rod failure in it. I contacted him by phone and he was savvy enough to string me along long enough to put me past the seven day limit and when I filed Ebay basically told me to go pound sand. He won that round..................

Got a email into him. They have a 14 day return policy.

Looks somewhat similar to the General Altimax, that also comes on in a directional pattern (HP) or non-directional (RT).  I have just under 24,000 miles on my Altimax HP and it still has lots of tread.

Lousy video but the General Tire commercial starts at 0:35

 I put on that tire last winter on an Interstate I got last summer  I got it at Wal-Mart and it was $100.  I usually got a General Alti-max from Tire Rack, but it was right there at Wally and about the same price. It was also non-directional, put on any direction.  Had it on there for a couple of weeks and went to Bike Week in Daytona in March. My nut cage rubbed and ruined the tire, but I made it to Florida and back to St. Louis before I realized it was rubbing. I had to replace the tire, and I got the Alti-max, but the Evertrek seemed fine. Only had about 3,000 miles on it, sure sucked to have to replace it. Didn't think the nut cage would hit, it was a 205/55/16. I've had two of those (Alti-max) on the Standard and haven't hit the nut cage once. Can't blame it on the WIFE, she only weighs about 115. Cranked up the shocks about 3 notches, removed the nut cage, all is good.

Got a little over 300 miles on it and it does stick like glue. I do know it does not like the 'forward' lines on a concrete rd.

its my 3rd darkside tire in 10 yrs . I cant say I saw much difference in any of them , they all react similarly to me . They all follow the squiggly tar lines or high spots . I'm not too worried about the tire myself . After the beating I gave it at Deals Gap last year I figured there wasn't anything else I could throw at it that would surprise me . It handled the relentless miles I put on it on the interstate on the way to Yellowstone last year . 1049 miles the 1st day . 3800 miles in 6 days (not including a 1 day layover in SLC).  It will answer the call of anything you can throw at it . After 10k miles it still looks literally new . I think you'll like it fine for the price !
