In what may be the ultimate snub to his own, name branded Tires, legendary actor and action hero Charles Bronson has decided WTB’s new Vigilante tire is his tread of choice. After a quick ride down Santa Barbara’s Tunnel Trail, Bronson noted he was stoked on the tire’s handling characteristics, though when asked about his opinion on 650b he declined to comment.
Full testimonial from Bronson on the new Vigilante, after the break!
SANTA BARBARA, CALIFORNIA – April 1, 2013 – Legendary actor and action hero Charles Bronson proclaimed his love for WTB’s new Vigilante enduro tire Monday after an impromptu shred fest down Santa Barbara’s Tunnel Trail. Bronson, best known for classic action onslaughts Death Wish 1, 2, 3, and 4, AND 5, was on a great escape from his wife and seven children residing in their mansion in Los Angeles’ Bel Air neighborhood.
While not one known for feelings, Bronson was smitten with the handling characteristics of the new Vigilante tread pattern, “Cornering. Can’t get enough of it. The Vigilante is the judge, the jury and the executioner.” When asked about the prospective market for the tire, Charles couldn’t help but resort to his timeless film adage, “Audiences like to see bad guys get their comeuppance.”
Charles Bronson’s stamp of approval comes as a surprise to many. WTB’s President, Patrick Seidler, mused over the significance of the occasion, “The Bronson [tire] is THE tire for Asia, America, and Europe. Hearing Il Brutto forgo such a successful signature tire gives credence to the capability of our new Vigilante tire. This is a momentous day for all.”
