Product DescriptionProwler SS 2.3” /// $50The Prowler SS (Slope Style) takes the square-profile, open design of the Prowler XT and doubles the central twin-knobs for unparalleled rolling efficiency. With DNA rubber compound and loads of siping, the SS boasts a healthy dose of traction along with straight-ahead speed. In hardpack conditions the SS performs incredibly well as a rear tire, paired with a Prowler MX, Prowler XT or WeirWolf LT up front.

from Woodlands,TX,USA Date Reviewed: June 1, 2011 Strengths: I picked these up for cheap, to save the wear on my over-priced tires I mounted them on my bike to ride Moab’s Slickrock trail. Well, they're fast tires that gripped very well on the slickrock (climbing and descending) and sand with no notable wear. I left them on for Porcupine Rim and Pipe Dream Trail. Half of the ride down Porcupine Rim was in rain a hail and the Prowlers gripped well. Pipe Dream – preformed great on the dry rocks. The tight block pattern is perfect for dry conditions and they track really well in the sand... Weaknesses: Mud; by just looking at the tread pattern its obvious Prowler SS’s aren’t mud tires. I was in Fruita, CO. climbing up Prime Cut to ride Zippety Doo Daa, the rear was easy to break loose but would catch itself with the side knobs… Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $12.00 Purchased At: online special Similar Products Used: Kenda Small Block 8 Bike Setup: Jamis Dakar XTC – WTB Laser Disks, Shimano XT/XTR Crank and Derailleur’s, Fox Float forks and shock and blah blah blah
