from UK and China Date Reviewed: September 7, 2010 Strengths: Cheap, great profile, traction, speed, bite at extreme lean angles, hard-pack, tire compound grips great, even on road. Loose over hard-pack, tire is really good, even a life saver. Great for front tire use. Weaknesses: Very hard to mount needs to be over-inflated (60 PSI plus) and dropped back to sit true. Tube puncture risk when mounting with tire spanners, certainly for basic wire bead version. A biting tire, not that great at climbing if on rear. Why not double-knob version for faster speeds esp for rear? Noisy on road, wear rate is medium fast. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $15.00 Similar Products Used: Maxxis Larsen TT, High Rollers, DMR Moto RT and Digger. Plus many others. Bike Setup: Hard-tail
