New Coker offroad tyre!

Apologies if this has been posted here already, but Coker have a new
offroad tyre. Its marginally wider than other 36" tyres by 1/8", but the
coolest thing about it is its tread pattern which consists entirely of
embossed 'Coker' text. The word 'Coker' will be written in the mud in
mirror-writing and normal writing wherever you go. I've always thought
that it would be a cool if a tyre company did this, shameless
self-promotion though it is.

I wonder how much it weighs....

It doesn't look the best tread pattern for off-road and I don't trust
tire measurements written on side of tires.
It was due out in August but I don't think it is available for sale
yet, no one on the forum has bought one as far as I know

Very pretty. I'd be more convinced if their name was XXX

It's a good thing they have it spelled in both directions. Otherwise
pumped at a high enough pressure it would say KKK...

What's an 'appoligy'? Nonetheless what's different to that thread is
that the tyre is now available for sale. I actually found this page
http://tinyurl.com/4yuwmw first, then the blog page. I post the link to
the blog page as it looked at lot more interesting.

Yeah, buying any black rubber stuff with XXX on it is always more
satisfying

I'd have to agree though that whilst having the name on the tread is
pretty cool, I don't see it being the best idea for an off-road tyre.
It looks like approx 85% of the tread is full height (or 15% is cut
away, depending on your point of view). Most decent off-road tyres are
more like 50/50

Well for those of us who ride in the city (and other places where this
danger exists), it looks like that tire would be really annoying to have
to scrape and clean - with all those nooks and crannies - when you ride
over a land mine (of the type produced by canines)...
