Submitted by noosa2 a Weekend Warrior from Phoenix, AZ

Date Reviewed: July 22, 2011

Strengths:    Perfect volume, strong sidewalls, easy to run tubeless - inflated with a floor pump so easily I think I could have inflated it with a hand pump

Weaknesses:    A very tight fit on Bonty Duster rims with tubeless rim strips (of course the up side of the tight fit is that it inflates so easily)

Bottom Line:   
I have only run this as a front tire but like it so much I'm going to put one on the rear this weekend. Great tire for the Phoenix, rock and chunk.

I'll get back in a few months and rate it as a rear tire.

Date Reviewed: May 3, 2010

Strengths:    Lots of grip,climbing and cornering, on everything they have touched, rocks, hardpack, loose dirt. Good float and traction though the sand and good rollout too. This was an easy tire to beadup for tubeless.

Weaknesses:    It turns in slower than I'm use to. Which may stength for some.

Bottom Line:   
Great so far.
