SYB Rider Date Reviewed: December 6, 2012 Strengths: I've run many different tires over the years and quite frankly the Advantage has probably been the best overall tire; providing excellent grip in all types of terrain along with good breaking and cornering. The terrain here is extremely rocky and I've yet to have an issue with sidewalls. As far as I'm concerned, the sidewalls give very good support but then again, they are DH tires and I would expect that. I've run tire pressure down so low I'm surprised I still did not pinch flat. Weaknesses: None to speak of unless you call a 2.4" tire slow. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Bike Setup: Intense Tracer

from Ohio Date Reviewed: June 16, 2011 Strengths: great grip, super tacky feel. diagonal lugs are pretty soft and the square ones are pretty stiff so it offers the best of both worlds in a sense. only running on the front of my bike since the 2.4 are super tall. protect your rims well. high volume tire. excellent stopping grip. throws dirt for days Weaknesses: Larger than ALL my other tires, fit my rear triangle but rubs too much under stress so im only running it on the front. LARGER than all my other 2.4's. these tires are super Tall. width wasn't the issue. the square tire profile was sticks out too far from the rim and my chain-stay tube tapered a 1/2 too soon Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: vulture's knob Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $27.00 Purchased At: ebay Similar Products Used: Kenda Kinetics, Maxxis holy rollers Bike Setup: 2007 jamis komodo, stroker aces, crank bro's pedals, etc

from Greece Date Reviewed: August 27, 2010 Strengths: Good grip , volume, and roll. If you are searching for something a bit faster than the Nevegal then it is very good.Good weight for its size. I used the exception model. Don't try to make it tubeless. It was really hard to do it on mavic 819 rims , it needed a lot of juice and never fully sealed. Weaknesses: The sidewall had a 2-3 mm hole on the 4th ride , on an easy trail. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $30.00
