I actually just sent a message to Goodyear just now asking this. Will update if I hear back with anything worth sharing.
I’d really like to try those tires, but no one has them. I feel like I saw them in stock a few months ago but I could be mistaken, not that it matters right now.
I’m not really in a hurry, and I can get whatever other tires in the meantime, they just look pretty cool and if they are going to do another run of them that might influence what I buy in the interim.
Can’t believe they named a tire after that place. My grandpa used to fish there. Looks like my next townie tire if they come back
dang are these tubeless?
I can’t tell if they’re being exceedingly clever or exceedingly dull. A winged foot is the Goodyear logo, and the tire is meant for street/park use.
edit: then looking it up, according to wiki the actual Wingfoot Lake State Park is so named because Goodyear used to own it before it became a state park.
edit2: that came out kinda mansplainy in a way I didn’t intend.
All good, yeah my understanding is that it was basically a private corporate park before they gave it to the state. Northeast Ohio deep cut
Haha this isn’t the first time I’ve see that happen when this tire is discussed in forums.
I might end up with some Box Three tires if I can’t get some by the start of the summer - two of them costs less than one Wingfoot, but they’re 30TPI
I would just set up an in stock alert with some shop page you’ve heard of. They are likely just tapping into BTI via Masterlinq. So once it hits the warehouse, all the shops will say it is ‘in stock.’ But BTI doesn’t have an ETA (i don’t think they usually do that, unlike QBP).
Thanks! That’s actually useful.
I already put in an order at Dans Comp since they let you do that and it’ll ship when in stock, but I’m being impatien.
A dude on a local forum for washed up mtbers from BITD just posted his build of this. Id not heard of those tires before then
I wish the Goodyear shoe on the label lined up with the valve stem
