from oregon Date Reviewed: July 20, 2004 Strengths: Anyone who is having problems in the corners with these tires, do not have them set up right. Never, never, ever ride these tires in HARD mode. The tread pattern will always want to through you out of the turn. Always ride in soft mode no matter what you're riding on. They will always grip up and hold any turn you take.

from Northern California Date Reviewed: April 7, 2004 Strengths: The grip in mud, and climb very well in both dry and muddy conditions. Even with dry weather you can get out of saddle on a climb and tire still grabs. Teal Green Sides. Directionals: Can be turned around for better grip in what ever riding conditons your in. Weaknesses: Teal Green sides some people may not like that. The tires hate pavement and get worn fairly quickly. I don't think they corner real well at high speeds in dry conditions on hard pack. It feels likes the knobby's start to compress or "roll" in the turn:( Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Anadale State Park Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $20.00 Purchased At: Nashbar/ Closeout Similar Products Used: Michelins, Ritchey Bike Setup: 1997 "real" GT Agressor all XT drive train, Caramba Cranks, Manitou Sx-R shocks, Sun Rhyno rims, Precision Billet Brakes, Time Attack Pedals
