Riding12Years Date Reviewed: July 27, 2012 Strengths: Good for getting you killed. Weaknesses: Side of the tire blew out within 2 months of riding. Beware there may be a defective batch of these tires being sold and could cause you serious injury. My previous tire was a WTB Velociraptor. Sometimes on a tight turn I will give the rear tire an extra tinge to cause a little sliding to straighten my path. The Velociraptor rear would slide in a predictable manner, however the Panaracer tends to slide out from underneath you causing you overshoot the sliding effect and lose time. I'm still going with Velociraptor in the front, so I can't tell you how they grip in front. With my friends recent blowout, however, I plan on returning what I have and getting something safer.

a Cross Country Rider Date Reviewed: May 14, 2012 Strengths: Great tire no matter where I ride, from NC, GA to the sand in FL. Great tire for training. I never did Tubeless, just run standard inner tubes and flats are really rare, even with those FL sand spurs. Weaknesses: Cornering in sandy conditions is a bit tough, but I have not found one that really works with sand anyway. I prefer a smaller knob for racing.

TruTone Date Reviewed: April 23, 2012 Strengths: Supple 120 TPI casing, at lower pressures feels like springy extra suspension. Feels great to ride on. Great grip on hardpack, pavement and rock Can be run front or rear Not terrible on weight COLORS. Good value Weaknesses: Slow on pavement (obviously) older tire design Bottom Line:

from Philly Date Reviewed: December 13, 2011 Strengths: I am riding the 650B 2.1 IRD Fire XC Pro...same tread as the Panareacer. It fits in my made for 26" Seven frame with even a smidge more room than the Pacenti 2.0 Quasi. Weaknesses: It's small casing...it's a bit of a weakness, but for me was the key feature because it fits in the rear triangle of my Seven 26' Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Wiss Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $45.00 Similar Products Used: I've used the Panaracer Fire XC pro for years and years. It is a great tire that hooks up everywhere and roolls relatively fast, yet not as fast as some of the newer small block tread designs...but, they fail in the late Fall and Winter where these hang in..so, it's a great tire! Bike Setup: Seven Verve...thumb shifters, Lefty Pbr, 650B American Classic Wheels 2.35 Pacenti Front tire (awesome!) XT and XTR mix Avid BB7 Groovy Ti Love Handles , Tittec TI seatpost. An awesome Eastern Singletracker!

from Baltimore, MD USA Date Reviewed: November 29, 2011 Strengths: This review is for the 2.1". Ran it "backwards" on my rear wheel, and got amazing traction on climbs- like tires twice as burly. Weaknesses: Hardest tire to replace a pinch I've ever used. Made worse because I got so many- now running a Continental Trail King 2.2 with thicker sidewalls after getting frustrated in Moab, where I ran an excess of 50 psi in the panaracer and still got pinches.
