Yes they contacted us and told us we can't have CT as a website because they own the rights to the name. But crappy is perfectly legal. This is not the first time for this.

But crappy is fine to use thanks to Mick McFadden. I guess your not allowed to have an opinion in this country?
As long as their name or logo are not on this site, they can do nothing.
You can read about what they did to Mick McFadden here:

Also if you do a whois search on Crappy tire, you will find they own almost 400 website that have their name in it.
We believe crappy works just as well, if not better.

As far as I am concerned this site is a valuable tool for them to learn what they need to do to improve their business. You can't buy this kinda feed back!!!
