from Fort Wayne, IN Date Reviewed: November 25, 2011 Strengths: Fast rolling, good ride (nice and firm structure), great on pavement, good for flat protection, awesome for thin rear tire for climbing, great for pavement and trail use. Weaknesses: Large center knob area makes it slip a lot in greasy trail conditions. Confused on the side knob design. It has been scary at times for handling and cornering grip as a front tire.

from Port St. Lucie FL Date Reviewed: January 30, 2011 Strengths: Inexpensive and a good dirt tire. Actually, counter to some other comments here I found the cornering traction to be much better than I had expected. Weaknesses: Not the greatest tires wear wise. Oddly, for some reason my front tire wore out faster than my rear one. I think it was a defect because there were 5 consecutive knobbies that suddenly wore down to a much greater extent than the knobbies on the rest of the tire....this on the FRONT mind you, so it wasn't from locking the brakes and skidding. I can see the blue colored under layer now on those kobbies now like they had been sheared off...or peeled off. My back tire has no such problem, but the front is a disappointment. I ride about 200 miles a week.

from Dallas/Fort Worth,TX Date Reviewed: November 15, 2005 Strengths: It's great at just riding and going fast. Turning is mediocre. Pretty good on dirt at a medium speed. Only had one pinch flat, in the rear, and I used it since 01. But I dont ride it anymore since I got a better bike. Weaknesses: SUCKS at wide turn, either fast or slow and is horrible on loose surface! I turned a little on pavement over some sand, fell over and skinned my knee really bad! Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Purchased At: Bicycles INC Similar Products Used: None...Bontrager Earl but thats way better. Bike Setup: 01 4300, crap everything.

from Sunny Tampa Date Reviewed: June 11, 2005 Strengths: A good tire for "just riding around." Pretty good on all surfaces: no buzz in pavement, but enough chunk to get through the stretches of sugar sand that plague Florida. Rolling resistance is good. Weaknesses: Poor directional stability on loose surfaces. Remember how I said it'll get you through the sand, well you'll be all over the place doing it. Cornering on loose dirt or sand is also entertaining. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Anything not paved Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $20.00 Purchased At: University cycle Similar Products Used: Gee, it's a bike tire. Lots of 'em. Bike Setup: Steel Hoo Koo E Koo. The fun and commute bike.
