Strengths:    Holds air
Tight on rim (flow)


Weaknesses:    Tight on rim (flow)

Bottom Line:   
Bought these tires based off talking with Geax that they were better in rocks and roots over a rampage. I considered the purchase carefully and decided to give them a try. The tires did not inspire much confidence slipping and drifting on the trails so they got moved into commuter service. Tires ride very similar to the SB8 which while on hard pack were great, however for loose terrain I'd consider another tire. Really disappointed as I wanted to like these tires. Tires are now being used for commuter duty and have had them wash out on concrete a few times in the turns. Last time I lost quite a bit of skin when I went down in the arroyo.

Really do not like being such a polar opposite of the prior review, but these tires just did not work well for me here in the SW.

Strengths:    sidewalls, fast, traction, tubeless

Weaknesses:    maybe heavy thats it.

Bottom Line:   
I love the toros, but these akas they do all in socal riding. they are great in sand, loose on hardpack, gravel, rocks, and they roll very fast. depending what I ride the psi will go up or down. Being thick sidewalls very strong on lower psi. I am a heavy rider at 190lbs. They have performed the best for me on my SS so far.
