J and B importers
Strengths:
I like this tire, it sheds mud well, is very large volume and can be run a low pressure. It rolls pretty fast, has some good side knobs, it doesnt squirm on the hard pack. The casing is thick and tough
Weaknesses:
Its not the most agressive cornering tire, and the braking is only ok. It isnt light.

Bottom Line:
I got the tires on closeout and I am happy I got them, I think I will race with one on the back.

Strengths:
The tire holds great around the corners and has alot less bounce in it then i expected.
Weaknesses:
Doesnt hold onto logs that well. ( skinnies ) the side lugs should be a softer compound in my opnion.
Bottom Line:
These are great for trail riding, but when you start to hit the ladders and logs i would'nt expect much.
