so are they jumping into a giant trademark problem with Challenge?
I don't know. It's not unusual for Dugast to glue a tread from another tire onto their casings. You could send them a set of Michelin Mud's and they'll cut off the tread and glue it onto their tires.
I don't know if FMB has cleared it with Challenge or if they're just doing it. For Challenge it's a validation of their tread...and a Fango/FMB will be a lot more expensive than a Challenge Fango.
I wonder if the lawyers will get involved.
If I could justify the expense I would get some Rhino treads on FMB casings. Instead I'm going to try out some Fango's next season.
The Fangos roll incredibly well.
God, I hope that lawyers get involved; I wonder if they have trademark counsel ;-)
