Strengths: Grip, Grip, Grip. This is the grippiest tire I have ever used. It works great in wet, muddy conditions or on slick clay. It works great on wet roots, rocks and slopes. It sheds mud very well. This is a great winter tire.Weaknesses: Its not a fast roller.Bottom Line: I really like this tire for wet, muddy or winter conditions. I find the grip amazing. Choose this tire for the appropriate conditions and you will pleased.

Strengths: Great grip in open grass fields/mud
Price
Weaknesses: Grip on rocks and roots is very poor compared to WetScreamBottom Line: This tire is OK for a wet muddy downhill course. I'd avoid it on something really rocky (think slickrock highway at mount snow) as it likes to slide around. I did a few collegiate races on these (one at lehigh where it was nearly 100% mud with very few rocks) and they behaved very well.
For the price, there is no comparison for mud tires, but it'd be better to spend the extra money on a set of WetScreams

Strengths: If you're tired from slipping and sliding when you ride on muddy terrain, then this is the tire for you. Though they're relatively small at 1.8" in diameter, the tall knob dig through the mud to give you the traction you need.Weaknesses: These tires seem to wear out faster than the usual cross country tire.Bottom Line: - Great tires for muddy terrain. After a few rides, it makes you more confident.
- They wear out fast.

Strengths: Excellent traction in loose rocky and muddy soil. It seemed like a perfect tire for the Fall conditions here in the Hudson ValleyWeaknesses: I've used it for a few weeks (three times a week rider on dirt always) and the knobs seemed to be wearing quickly.(but they are tall)
Paper thin sidewalls give this tire a limited lifespan.Bottom Line: I love the traction these tires give and don't mind that the knobs seemed to wear quickly. I figure that was because they are so tall.
After a few (2 or 3) weeks the sidewall was slashed by a rock and now they are trash.
The sidewalls are paper thin and I'm not surprised it was torn so easily.
If Kenda made these tires with some kind of sidewall protection, they'd be awesome tires.
Buy them if you really want some great traction and don't mind replacing them every few weeks, but I need something more durable.
