Strengths: Great rubber compound, traction, braking are all really good, low rolling resistance, good tread life.Weaknesses: None reallyBottom Line: I gave these a go on a whim, not expecting much but I was really impressed with their performance in all conditions. I originally intended to just use them in the dry but ended up using them in the wet as well, they weren't great but were better than Minions on my buddys bikes, they hooked up pretty well and cleared the mud better than other dry tyres I've used. In the dry they're fantastic, roll fast and hook up well on dust and rocks. In my opinion they are the perfect Australian conditions tyre. They brake much better than the usual Minion DHF on the rear that is popular here and I think also better than HighRollers as well.
Give them a run and you won't be disappointed.
