Strengths: Rolls well, grips on hard pack and moderately loose dirt. Runs well on roads and trails. Mounts easier than many UST tires, and holds air well. Very light.Weaknesses: This is a soft race tire, so don't expect long wearing tread. It will wear fast if you slip a lot on rocks and might tear lugs on hard braking on pavement. (Mine have been fine for the last few months, and looks like they will last at least another 4-6 months.)Bottom Line: Better than the Pythons, but about equal to the Comp S lights. However, they do have better traction than the Comp S Lights, and seem more durable as well. For $35 a tire, they are a good buy, and work well for general XC riding. They might be old tech, but they still work. Very light, and would be ideal for racing. Not a rock tire (the side walls are thin).
