from Peoria, IL Date Reviewed: March 30, 2005 Strengths: Great fast rolling tire for hard pack conditions. Great confidence inspiring traction with cornering and climbing in dry conditions. Weaknesses: Not good in loose conditions or mud. That's not what it is intended for anyway, so it's not necessarily a fault of the tire.

They loose 1/2 their normal traction on wet obsticles and pack up faster and tighter than anything! Side walls are VERY pourous making Stans No-Tubes and pain in the *ss to install!
