Strengths:
Incredible rear tire, especially in wet and/or muddy conditions. Even clears clay to a higher degree than just about any other tire. Finds traction everywhere. Long lasting tread. Large volume for a 2.2 which is a nice change when most tires are smaller than stated.
Weaknesses:
Horrible front tire; cornering with these on the front is a scary proposition.
Similar Products Used:
There have been a few other mud tires I used ages ago that may have equaled it ... but only in the mud. This thing grabs traction anywhere and in any condition.
Bottom Line:
Very highly recommended as a rear tire for anywhere I can imagine - especially in habitually wet places. I don't know that there's enough money to make me run them in the front :p
Those remarks are what governed my ratings.

Higher rolling resistance than stock Specialized skins.

Bike Setup:

Bottom Line:
This is a fantastic back tire. As soon as I put it on my Rockhopper I was able to make climbs that were previously impossible. This is quite possibly the perfect up-grade for a new mountain biker looking to upgrade their $700 bike. Did I mention that it was on sale too?!

So far these have been some of the best tires I have ever used. The tires are extremely fast and hold well to any surface I put them on. It almost feels like I will slide around corners but the grip is phenominal when doing so. I recommend trying to find these when they are on sale, or otherwise you will pay quite a bit for them.

Strengths:
Increadible price when they're on sale at Performance. Tons of grip in most situations. Fairly low rolling resistance. Large volume soaks up bumps. They fold up!
Weaknesses:
The only place I lose grip is the smooth rock going up hill out of a puddle/creek.

Bottom Line:
These tires are sweet so far. They were next to impossible to get onto my rim, but once they were on, they were great. They roll well on the faster flats, and grip hard up and downhill.

Bottom Line:
Makes riding a full rigid fun again. It soaks up a lot of the roots and small ruts that make my wrists ache. It definately helps me stay on pace with the other FS/HD bikes on the trail.

Finally I got the good stuff for a very low price. Good rolling, breaking and control. If you need a good tire for low money, go for the Michelin 60 tpi. I'll update later, but this tires are great for the price and nice looking too..
