The IRC Stingo introduces a new category of tire…the mud racer. A narrow profile allows the tread to knife through the mush while tall, widely-space knobs provide excellent mud release.

Favorite Trail:
Tranquility Park
Duration Product Used:
3 months
Strengths:
Sheds mud well, doesn't pack up. Great traction in wet, muddy conditions.
Weaknesses:
Would be even better if offered in a skinnier width (1.9 is the only size available).
Bike Setup:
'06 Giant Anthem 2
Bottom Line:
Have run these tires several times (one XC race) after moderate to heavy rain, and was able to ride without stopping to clean any mud from drivetrain. Shed mud well, and grip well in muddy conditions. If you're looking for a tubeless Mud tire, I'd highly recommend these! Only thing that would make these even better is if they were offered in a skinnier width ... only available as a 1.9".
