FAKE HARO TYRES??

(1/2) > >>

deeman:
We all know that there were thousands of fake parts back in the 80's.Some were more blatant rip offs than others.I have a pair of white Haro freestyle tyres which i have been looking to replace with a nos set for ages.I missed a couple of pairs last year due to lack of funds.I have been looking recently and i have seen some black ones for sale,mainly in the far east which is always suspect.The logos on the sidewall on my tyres looks exactly as I remember them to be bitd.The logo however looks wrong on these ebay ones,The font is too tall and the letters spaced out too much.Here are pics of the asian ones i am talking about

Is it just me or do the logos look wrong?does anyone know if there were snides of these tyres made?Or do you think they are trying to make snides now?Here is a pic of the badly faded logo on my tyres



I think it looks a little different.What does everyone else think?

Hard to tell from your pic
