a Racer Date Reviewed: July 16, 2012 Strengths: Price is less than the competition. TNT casing has tough sidewalls instilling confidence that tears will be minimal, if at all. Fast rolling, very predictable in corners in dry conditions. Hooks up well on rocks. Sets up tubeless and holds air reliably on ZTR Flow rims. Great back tire. Weaknesses: The small knobs wear out pretty quickly, tire is smoked at maybe 150 miles. They do not track well through mud.

from Flanders in New Jersey Date Reviewed: August 12, 2010 Strengths: Extremely quick acceleration, can be flipped around for traction or another way for speed. Has the ability to run tube or tubeless. Stuck surprisingly well on loose, rocky parts and dirt. Weaknesses: Hung fast in the corners, but was on the edge of slipping. On turns where I had to lean in deep and hit the rear brake, the tire slid out well, but struggled to regain traction even after the brakes were released. On street, deep corners caused the tire to start humming, signaling the edge of its traction limit. Scary in the wet. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: The maintenance trail near local powerlines Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $49.00 Purchased At: Marty's Reliable Cyc Similar Products Used: Kenda Nevegal, Kenda Small Block Eight Bike Setup: 2010 Giant Rincon with Race Face Evolve flat bar, FSA stem, Lockon Grips, and Carbon-Fiber spacers.

from Falls Church, VA Date Reviewed: July 30, 2010 Strengths: rolls fast and light, aka seated up for tubless setup with a floor pump. I thought traction was pretty good considering it is a semi-slick. Weaknesses: 2.0 is extremely small for a 2.0, and very little tread. Soft knobs do not last very long. Do not handle low PSI well. HORRIBLE traction in wet conditions.
