Intense 909 tire is for intermediate to soft terrain. The SR stands for Sticky Rubber, this is a soft high performance compound that compresses to objects and slowly rebounds resulting in a secure, stable ride. The softer, more compliant rubber compounds used in these tires may wear faster.

If you want the most indestructible tire I am yet to find buy these. Yes they are heavy but super thick sidewalls never get pinch flats. Good Rolling tire and performs terrific in a myriad of conditions.

Indestructable casing, excellent dry traction.

They wear out really fast, and the side lugs liketo rip off.
Similar Products Used:
Maxxis Minions, Arrow Racing, Other Intense tires.
Bike Setup:
V10 w 888r
Bottom Line:
These tires were okay for going down really steep rocky terrain, other than that they suck your pedal power even when you ar going downhill. The thing that I disliked the most was that the lugs tear off the sidewall too easily.

You name them.
Bike Setup:
V10, White Brothers 2.0, Hussefelt crank, E Thirteen guide, Modo wheels, Intense 909 FRO's.
Bottom Line:
One year, no flats. If that doesn't say something then what does? Match these tires with Sun-Ringle Doublewides and Nokian DH tubes and watch all your friends change flats. Maybe they will get the hint after a while. PS I ride as hard as the next downhiller, so the 909's have been put to the test.
