from Colorado Springs, CO Date Reviewed: May 15, 2011 Strengths: I love these tires. I don't even know if they make them anymore because I'm trying to replace them now and I can't find them. They absolutely rock in the sand and loose stuff. I outdo much more experienced riders in sand because of the tires. They've held up way longer than I ever expected. They are a fabulous dry terrain, loose stuff tire. It's been great in Nevada and Colorado. Weaknesses: Stinks in mud and wet terrain. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: I have a few...

from Colorado Springs, Colorado Date Reviewed: April 14, 2009 Strengths: Strong bite in loose conditions in the turns. Pretty good in muddy conditions. Durable and confidence inspiring, compared to lighter tires. Excellent for slower courses with lot's of turns and a need for extra traction. Weaknesses: Tire needs at least 38psi to avoid pinching and for tire stability. Much over that the tire is not very smooth, especially at high speeds. Light, but no longer competitive in weight with newer tubeless options. Tire is poor for running tubeless since the beads stretch out. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Ute Valley Park Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $15.00 Purchased At: price point Similar Products Used: omg.. tons of tires. Recently I run Pythons on hard pack and courses without a lot of turns. Past year have run Maxxis CrossMax, Spesh Fasttrak and Captains. Bike Setup: 08 S-Works Epic. Run either tubes or tubeless, depending on tire choice.

from Albuquerque, NM, USA Date Reviewed: March 5, 2005 Strengths: There are 3 versions of the same tire! This review is about the Japanese made Mythos (red sidewalls), not the Korean or Taiwanese versions that use different rubber compounds. Mythos tires are directional and have different tread designs for the front and rear. They offer great value for riding in loose soil and on rock and are far above average in sand. Weaknesses: They suck up mud and hold onto it. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Foothills Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $20.00 Purchased At: Nashbar Bike Setup: Plain vanilla Specialized Epic Comp.
