How to pronounce GEAX

Just bought a pair of Geax Sturdys and ran them on the trail today. What a great tire. I was just wondering how do you say the name?

I thought that, too. But I was at Interbike this year, and went up to the Geax booth. I asked them, and the way to pronounce it is Gee-Ax.

I have been preaching about the Sturdy 2.25 for years. Best tire made IMHO. BTW, it is pronounced Jee-ax
