Poor customer service. | | Similar Products Used: | Kenda Klimax Lite UST | | Bike Setup: | Giant NRS Air stock | | Bottom Line: | First two sets of Python UST tires held air and worked fine.

$49.00 | | Purchased At: | PP where price is the point! | | Strengths: | To specify, this review is for the Hutchinson New Gen Python Tubeless tires. At approximately $25 a pop from PP, it was affordable. After getting the tires, they were easy to get on my Mavic Crosslands. A scoop of Stans and off I went. | | Weaknesses: | Maybe a bit heavy, but I dont mind the tradeoff for durability. Messy putting this tire on especially if your using Stans and dont have a stand or an extra hand helping you. Soaping the bead well makes the bead pop into the rim much easier but gets very slippery when putting them on. Dont forget a compressor! | | Similar Products Used: | Hutchinson Bulldog Tubeless Light (w/ Stans), Panaracer Fire XC Pros, and Kenda Nevegals. | | Bike Setup: | Spec Stumpjumper SS HT. Love the SS! | | Bottom Line: | Hey the tire holds air well, doesn't leak, and can grip like a thirsty mosquito on a hot summer day. This tire has a really low rolling resistance, felt like I was riding on slicks. It really feels that good, especially compared to the Bulldogs, Fire XC's, and Nevegals that I have tried before. Going uphill, the tires do not slip much and provide confidence when pounding downhill looking for grip around the corners. Thus far, I am happy with these tires and would not hesitate to buy another set. Value got 4/5 only b/c I am cheap and dont like spending money.

I've "experimented" with similar brands but keep coming back to the Pythons for the type of terrain we have around here. They hook up well on hardpack and are relatively lightweight. I run them with Stan's and have only had ONE flat (which was my fault because my Stan's had dried up!) D'OH!
I recommend playing with different pressures on different terrains as you can dial them in for maximum performance. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

These bikes are the prima donnas of the MTB market. Every component is selected with one thing in mind .... weight. The frame and components are not designed to withstand the repeated abuse of rougher more technical terrain. These tires are no exception. If you are riding on a prepared race course, which most XC races are on, the Hutchinson Pythons UST's are the tires for you. If not, a more durable tire made for aggressive riding is probably what you will need. Most would say if you own XC racing bike you not looking for path of most resistence, you're looking for path which won't break that thin walled frame, 19 to 23 lbs., egg shell of a bike with those light weight racing tires you're riding on.

When conditions are ideal these tires are at their best - great traction on dirt, wood, rock - they're sticky. If you are tight on funding might want to go with something else.

Stan's sealant eliminated that problem. | | Similar Products Used: | Tire came stock with the bike. | | Bike Setup: | Giant NRS1 | | Bottom Line: | This was the first tubeless tire I have used since it came with the bike. I was a little disappointed at first because the Front tire kept losing air after 3-400 miles of riding. Allstar Bike Shop checked it out for me and added some Stan's sealant and I have had NO air leakage since. Just crossed the 2000 mile mark on my odometer. I felt it is time to replace my tires due to obvious wear. Add a 210lb. rider to the mix and these tires held up real well. I knew that since this tire is made for speed and less rolling resistance that it would give up some traction to an aggressive knobby tire. No different than trying to use a summer tire in snow. Common sense applies as to what you intend to use the tire for. I decided the next tire I get will have a more aggressive Knobs for more traction, control and safety. I ride as hard as conditions will permit me too. I can't blast this tire one bit because I used it the way it was intended to be ridden. Enough said. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

If you ride in damp or wet areas, roots/rocks with lots of climbing, consider getting the Scorpion or Spyder because they have bigger teeth for grip.

I did not take notice to this during the ride, but I was aware that it had slow leaks. At the end of the ride there is a small jump and hard turn into my yard. While turning the tire rolled on the rim breaking the bead allowing all the air to escape at once. This sent me to the ground and the E.R.. I don't know if this is common for tubless, but you can bet that in 6 weeks I will be putting tubes in the tires. I guess in the end I should have over inflated by 10 lbs instead of 5.

I have regular Python UST on front and Light on my rear and can feel acceleration difference. Hooks up well in dry terrain and rolling resistance actually decent for road riding.... BUT (see below) | | Weaknesses: | Sidewall cracks began developing only after 10 months, then turned into small leaks 2 months later - can't feel or hear the air escaping until you put under water and observe the air bubbles forming out of these cracks. Sorry, Ray from Centennial, CO, watch out... it will happen! And believe me, there are no other punctures! All I have done since I moved to London from the US is to use it for commuting 15min each way (waste of nice bike but too busy, lazy, and hopefully that will change this summer). The tire bleeds slowly enough to last the 15min ride, but having to pump up just before each ride is a real pain in the arse, as they say here. | | Similar Products Used: | Python UST | | Bike Setup: | Specialized M4 FSR-XC, Mavic Crossmax UST | | Bottom Line: | My front regular Python UST have been on my bike now for about 15 months with no problems, though like Pablo from Phoenix, they seem to leak faster than my rear until the rear developed the abovementioned problem. The Light version I feel are a real scam! Charging the same for a tire that is less durable and then not disclosing the trade-off in marketing materials... that's not how you win customers. I wrote to Hutchinson by email directly and they have yet to respond. All I am looking for is a response, not begging them to send me replacements (though that would be nice). I have 2 spare unused Lights but I hesitate to mount them (auction them on Ebay?). I'd rather get more reliable ones. I'd even think about going back to the regular Pythons but the lack of response from Hutchinson leads me to believe that 1) they don't care and/or 2) they know about the problem but don't have the integrity to admit that the design is faulty and pull it from the market. I'm going to have to vote with my pocketbook and look for a different brand. Any suggestions out there? | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
