Strengths:    Traction, cornering, stability, stiff side walls

Weaknesses:    Price, they ride so good you are willing to pay for another set when they wear out...

Bottom Line:   
Great tires, totally reliable and trustworthy, no worries that they will get squirrely or do something unexpected, traction is awesome, wear is pretty good for a softer tire.

Strengths:    Grip, cornering, confidence inspiring, predictable.

Weaknesses:    more prone to punctures than Maxxis.
Slower rolling than Maxxis - but they are a Dh tire!


Bottom Line:   
These tires are simply outstanding.
They compliment my riding style like no other.
I normally run minion 2.5ST DHF's, sometimes with a 2.5 HR ST out back, or when it is wet cut spikes.
In the dry on rocks or in the woods they are outstanding, hold a turn or rocks like no other. Feel like an advanced slow reezy compound (from when it existed). Drifts like a Minion when if does let go. Maxxis (have ridden for years) best time down a short section was 20.98s, with DerKaisers on for only 2 weeks I did 3 times 20.30, 20.17 and 20.13 (Freelap times).
They make you able to hit corners 10% faster than before. Some of my pals who are normally within 0.2s of me on 20s tracks are now 0.5s+ down.
