Schwalbe Al Mighty Tire


  • Average Rating: 3.75/5
  • MSRP: $ 46.12
  • # of Reviews: 4

Product Description

Al Mighty The new all-powerful king of Downhill. It know only one direction: Down! Fast and controlled. The center lugs are perfected for transmission of the braking forces, while the serrated surface means each lug has almost twice the grip. The side lugs help hold the line well in curves. The double carcass and an additional reinforcement lend powerful lateral stability at even the lowest inflation pressure. The newly developed super-soft Gooey Gluey Compound gives the best control on hard and loose surfaces.

Strengths:    grippy, no roll, stiff, fast, seem to be very durable so far.

Weaknesses:    a little heavy, but that's downhill

Bottom Line:   
Buy this tire if you want long lasting with speed and traction in all terrain. Whistler loves to eat tires and these hold up better then anyting I've used. Finally I found the perfect tire.

Date Reviewed: August 15, 2004

Strengths:    tacky, grippy, can run super low psi and no worries for pinch flats, fat

Weaknesses:    heavy beyond your wildest dreams

Bottom Line:   
its hard to find a tire that provides awesome grip on concrete obstacles, while providing low rolling resistance, and all for a good price. these tires were pretty good, so heavy, but performed well. price was decent -- at 80 dollars canadian so about 60 US i guess, an alternative to the maxxis tires.
tread is fairly knobby and ... well provides the stickyness for most all rear wheel on ledges, railings, and so on!

Schwalbe Al Mighty Problem, Typical?

So I'd hoped to use an Al Mighty as a rear. Big and squishy is a big plus on a rigid singlespeed. Problem is, I can't inflate it. I've got a Mavic 819 rim (same as the 3.1 - i   Read More »
