Strengths:
its great for the the ever wet mogs that never dry out. not only the soup like stuff, but the tacky-stick-to-your-tires clay that is found anywhere their building houses or have taken the top soil. i have taken these tires everywhere. local trails, farm hopping out at home, terrorizing a nieghborhood, running around town, even repeated times on beaches and georgia marsh. heck ive raced on these things.
Weaknesses:
wear kind of quick, but with the kind of rideing i do, which kind wouldnt.

Similar Products Used:

Bike Setup:
GT Hardtail, LX/XT, Marz Forks
Bottom Line:
I went for these tires after I wore out the Tioga's because the tioga tires were after a while really breaking down fast. Once the first few nob's came of, the rest quickly followed suit. So far I've had no problems with this happening with these tires.
I have however had a little trouble with them when it comes to gripping/cornering on roads, but I'm willing to deal with that since they work so well offroad.
