from Macon, GA Date Reviewed: November 13, 2009
Favorite Trail:
Dauset, Jackson GA
Duration Product Used:
3 months
Purchased At:
Came Stock on Fisher
Strengths:
Little rolling resistance (fairly quick tire), a TRUE oversized tire.
Weaknesses:
Oversized doesn't mean everything touching the ground is tracks. Good for dry and general riding conditions, but doesn't fare as well in steep inclines. I just mounted Velociraptor 2.1's on the rear and I'm leaving the LT3 on the front. The Velociraptor is a well known and famous climbing tire, but you can tell it's not oversized like the 2.0 LT3's.
Similar Products Used:
none
Bike Setup:
Stock 2010 Fisher Tarpon
Bottom Line:
Because the Tarpon is an entry level MTB and a lot of riders will probably take this bike on the road it's a sufficient tire. Just don't expect perfection off-road.
