Strengths: grip unreal i have tried paneracer rampage and fire scwalbe space maxxis high roller ardent and wet screams thease are the best tyres on the planet,Weaknesses: there not freeBottom Line: the bottom line is if you want your bike on rails buy this tyre, and if you dont want to be sat on a trail fixing your tube buy them now i even tried the 2.1 and never had a flat tyre never, they are bomb proof really they are unbelivaBLE
i have taken 15 foot drops with low pressure and never had a problem , im really over welmed by these tyres, the only issue i have is the 2.3 is like a 2.1 kenda nevegal i also love the nevegal but if i have to choose gazza all day long awesome tyres

Strengths: Grip, Durability, pinch flat resistance (almost proof!)Weaknesses: WeightBottom Line: I used to ride DH, and had the 2.6 on an Intense M1. From my positive experience, I decided in putting on my hardtail.
I have used these tires for everything from City/Freeride/XC/DH for 9yrs without complaint. No tire is perfect in all conditions, but this gets close. Over time, the compound dries out, requiring replacement every 5yrs+. When new, side knobs are a little squeamish on harder surfaces, and when old, compound isn't best in wet. In my 9yrs, I have never had to replace a tube...in fact, i am still running original tubes from 2001!

Strengths: TOUGH! Excellent grip in loose, loamy conditions; good brakingWeaknesses: Heavy, side knobs squirm below 25-26 psi, pretty useless on hardpackBottom Line: Having used these tyres for over 2 years I decided it's time for a review. This was my first big fat chunky tyre and BIG is definately the right word - true to its size and very very heavy; but those sidewalls seem to be made of steel.
I have never pinch flatted with this tyre, the only time I had a puncture I pulled out the biggest thorn I've ever seen come out of a bicycle tyre (even my friends were wide mouthed!).
Basically this tyre is amazing in loose loamy and soft dirt conditions and fares excellently in loose rocky sections. Very good at high speed, stable straight line holding and predictable turn-in.
The problems are basically two: weight and the those huge side knobs - they really squirm and float around at low pressures when riding on hardpack giving the tyre a very insteady feel. Then again this is no hardpack tyre so it still gets 5 chillis!

Strengths: Awesome cornering grip, good all around grip, reasonably hard wearing, good flat resistance.Weaknesses: Fairly hefty, and the tread pattern is slower going on really hardpacked terrain than others, unsurprisingly.Bottom Line: Great tyres, wicked for the UK where conditions rarely reach super dry and there's no slick rock.
Bear in mind that these will wear out quick if the going's dry, but in loose or loamy conditions the edges grip like they're on rails. A great 4x or aggressive XC tyre I'd say, but not for race whippets.

Strengths: Beefy Underdog Tire that comes out from behind and kicks the competitions a$$Weaknesses: slippery on what roots, but what isn't?Bottom Line: If I could have your attention please. The bottom line is this. The only other tire I have ridden that beats the Nokian Gazza is the Kenda Navagel sticky compund tire. Others come close, but the others don;t measure up in quality and predictability.
Value rating is based on price i paid, not retail price.
