Bottom Line:
My bike is my primary transportation on campus, but I love to go out on trails on the weekends. I ride a lot of stairs and enjoy the local freeride course, so I need a high volume tire that won't pinch flat easily. The tire is designed for dry conditions, but it has tolerated moderate mud, and wasn't too bad on some snow and slush. It rolls very quickly on concrete, but has excellent grip out on the singletracks. I've only used it as a front tire, but I'm very satisfied.

Bottom Line:
this review is for the Mountain Dry 2 Reinforced edition, absolutely love it, used it as a front, felt quite good, turning and braking felt very sure footed, but personally i feel it is better as a rear tire, it has a slightly rounder profile, hard wearing, rolls superb, thick sidewalls prevent rips n tears, really can't fault it, plus its not to expensive.
