Strengths:    Great grip in most street, park and dirt jump applications. Tread wraps the tire allowing excellant grip on the sidewalls. Good diameter for intended application. Two compounds. Awesome price. Great on dry or hard pack trails. Reversable and fast rolling.

Weaknesses:    Sticky compound is hard to get.

Bottom Line:   
Excellant tire for the money that can do things most other park/street tires can not in the woods.

Date Reviewed: July 26, 2006

Strengths:    Fast when going straight

Weaknesses:    Not high enough PSI for street riding, slides out on asphalt or concrete when cornering too sharp

Bottom Line:   
Slid out too much when cornering. K-rads much better and really light with higher PSI rating. Nokian XXX heavy but best street tire I've ever ridden, Better than hookworms because they felt lighter.
