from Ga Date Reviewed: July 28, 2002 Strengths: The tire hooks up in everything. It loves grass, mud, sludge, and every other kind of crap thats on the trails. There is no problem laying the bike down in the mud through a berm or descending down a grassy ski slope, it will hook up. Also, a bonus, even under heavy breaking, the tire will not allow your wheels to lock out and slide all over in the mud, you will slow down under control... it's just amazing. Weaknesses: Well, it is horrible for the trails, it ripps the trail to shreds, but... it's worth it. Wet rocks can* be difficult only because the width is only 2.1 and it seems skinny. Be prepared to have your knobs ripped off if you run these in the dry. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: The Forest Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $22.00 Similar Products Used: Every tire made for DH by Maxxis. The swampthings are great too, also they are more enviromentally friendly if you care. Oh yeah, and my Minion's are in the mail from maxxis, so i will post my review for them as soon as they open a link.
