from los angeles, CA USA Date Reviewed: January 17, 2010 Strengths: This tire is awesome. It rolls on asphalt like a champ, it has very little rolling resistance. The inside tread is bald which makes the tire roll easily on the street and sticks on dirt hard pack. Even on wet streets this tire grips. Some say the side knobs are useless, but I have had them hold lines on curvy dirt fire roads. Weaknesses: Only available in 1.95 width Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $11.00 Purchased At: OSH Similar Products Used: Kenda K-Rads, Maxxis Highroller SS Bike Setup: kona hardtail

from Metro Detroit Date Reviewed: July 27, 2006 Strengths: Traction in wet weather, traction when leaving the pavement, corners well. My 10 mile commute is about 8 miles paved, 1 mile gravel, and one mile hard packed trail. Thes tires are perfect for all of these conditions when dry and when wet. Plus I'm a heavier rider and so far I have had to problems with these tires due to my weight. Weaknesses: High rolling resistance, a bit heavy. I have gotten many more flats on these tires than others I have used. A tire liner is highly suggested if using these for commuting. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: any Duration Product Used: 2 Years Price Paid: $15.00 Purchased At: LBS Bike Setup: ATB converted to commuter with weekend offroading.
