Maximum grip and control on wet conditions. Gato is born as the natural Argo's heir so it has an aggressive thread with widely spaced knobs and a self cleaning pattern. Aggressive, multi purpose tyre for wet conditions and heavvy soils. Reinforced central knob line to get low rolling resistance and extra beefing placed right below side knobs to increase rigidity and grip when cornering. Grooved, high knobs clearly speak traction and control on wet and nasty terrains giving this tyre a clear aggressive allrounder character.

Strengths:
This review is for the TNT version.
Interesting & usefull tread pattern. Rolls pretty good & relatively light for a tubeless.
Weaknesses:
For a wet weather/terrain tire it should be available with a softer & stickier compound.

Bike Setup:
'07 Element
Bottom Line:
I believe this tire would be more usefull with a softer tire compound to take better advantage of the tread pattern in the conditions it is purported to be for, which is wet weather riding.

Strengths:
Fantastic grip for the rolling resistance, very rigid sidewalls.
Weaknesses:
It wears out way quicker you may imagine
Similar Products Used:
Kenda Nevegal, Ritchey Z-Max, Wtb, Bontrager Al.
Bike Setup:
Ibis Mojo with Fox 36, I9 Enduro wheelset, Maxxis Lust High roller 2.35 in the front.
Bottom Line:
If you like very stiff sidewalls (not like Kenda Nevegal's), great cornering grip with a pretty good rolling resistance give it a shot, especially in the rear.
Do not expect more than 200km range.
