Its mix includes an open pattern, fast rolling center tread combined with large, soil-piercing outside knobs. Use these tires and expect to pick up speed and keep it no matter what gets in the way.

Favorite Trail:
Along the "Mighty" Rio Grand
Duration Product Used:
1 Year
Price Paid:
$24.00
Purchased At:
lbs
Strengths:
Seems wide for a 1.95, more like a 2.1. Mine are UST and they sealed quickly. Very comfortable and confidence inspiring ride. Works fairly well in the sand and sticks well to slick stuff.
Weaknesses:
I haven't come across one yet.
Similar Products Used:
Hutcheson Scorpion UST (quite light for tubeless), Maxxis Minion DH (heavy and sorta cheezy), several Specialized and Michelin that I was generally happy with.
Bike Setup:
Yeti 575 pretty much stock except for tubeless rims.
Bottom Line:
I haven't found anywhere that these don't excel. Never any sketchy moments and that's pretty unusual considering the different surfaces I ride on but I haven't had them on clay mud though.
