I stopped by their booth and talked to them at the SEMA show in Las Vegas in
November. They are slowly bringing out more versions of the G-Force tire to
replace R1s, but the tooling is expensive and it will take a while. They are
focusing more on late model type tires for this (i.e. large diameters, and low
aspect ratios), and not vintage. They told me they planned to continue the
existing sizes in R1s where there wasn't a G-Force replacement available.
>From talking to them, it was clear they were NOT in touch with vintage tire
needs, and probably consider the market too small to be interesting.
