Deadline Extended: All-Black Tire Crowdfunding
A big ‘Thank you’ to all who’ve contributed to the crowdfunding of our all-black Rene Herse tires. We’re very close to meeting our goals, so we’ve decided to extend the deadline through the weekend, until end-of-day on May 4, 2026.

As you can see, almost all models are really close to making their crowdfunding goals. If you’re interested in these all-black tires, please click on the links. That’ll take you to the product pages, where you can place your pre-order. If the tires make their crowdfunding goals, they’ll ship in late June or early July. And if they don’t, you’ll get a full refund by May 15, 2026.
A few customers have asked about all-black versions of tires that aren’t part of the crowdfunding? Some of these used to be available in all-black until recently. Others aren’t part of our production schedule right now. When we’re getting ready to make these tire models again, we’ll see if we can do another crowdfunding for all-black versions.
For now, we’re offering 11 of our most popular tire models as part of our crowdfunding drive. If you’d like to get a set (or two) of these all-black tires, head to the product pages (via the links above or directly) and pre-order them.
