Strengths:    Tire is a harder compound so it wears well. Has good traction on dirt, loose rock, and mud. It is a pretty light tire compared to some.

Weaknesses:    Bigger lugs would help it do even better in deep mud. Side walls are thin and require lots of pressure to keep the tire from rolling (side to side). This helps keep it light.

Bottom Line:   
This is a great all around tire for both traction and wear. Not the best if you do lots of riding in deep mud or if you do street/road riding only!

these were some great tires I do alot of riding on pavement and they wear very well. I am going to get a new Schwinn and plan on switching them to that bike. I believe if you want a good quality tire these are it

Strengths:    price (bike was 2 years old, never ridden), strong frame, bike is much lighter then it looks,

Weaknesses:    wha, no detachable derailer hanger?! cheap derailer (broke 3 in the first 2 months) fork <-sucks!

Bottom Line:   
This is by no means a hardcore racing bike. If your just a weekend warrior, whos clumbsy, and has a habit of running into trees, this frame will not fail you. cant say the same about the derailer though.

Strengths:    Durable, climb well in dry

Weaknesses:    heavy, don't climb well wet

Bottom Line:   
These came on my first mountain bike a few years ago. I rode them for 1 summer and have now switched them to my hucking and trials bike. They ride just fine and are totally durable. I ride them off of anything you can find in a city and I've never had a flat. The only flat I've ever had with these tires was when I ran over a nail. They are a little heavy and slow, but they are durable and very good for a beginner or someone not wanting to spend the time and money replacing tires every year.

Strengths:    Good grip on quick uphills

Weaknesses:    Weight

Bottom Line:   
I go over 200 lbs. and couldn't get a good grip with the IRC Notos that came with the bike. These tires give me the added bite to maintain momentum on uphills as well as good turning grip. I've lost cornering bite with the IRCs but not with the Moabs.

Strengths:    Great grip, durability

Weaknesses:    weight

Bottom Line:   
Sucks! I just changed to Specialized Cevlar 1.7 and hope to get a better performance from them.
The tire gave me a lot of flats (don't really have the experience to tell if it's its fault), is too heavy and too tough on hard surfaces.

Good grip though, especially rear.

Date Reviewed: March 19, 2000

Strengths:    None

Weaknesses:    Tire wore thin on sidewalls causing several flats.

Bottom Line:   
Came with the bike and were replaced quickly. Would not even sell to someone as a used tire. This tire is dangerous!! Cannot think of any rider that this tire would be good for. It was ashame that I had these on at Moab and ended up spending more time on flat repair than riding. Took the Smoke Dart combo off my Mongoose IBOc and had a great time!!
