Cornering is bad, $ if bought new.
Similar Products Used:
Various Tioga tires Specialized
Bike Setup:
BigHit, Monster, 6Way, Grimeca, 3.0 Nokians
Bottom Line:
Good: These tires are great. The first thing I noticed, it makes landing much softer, tracks well. Bad: Cornering could be better. They just slide out under you. Feels like a big bubble, slopy.
It's a great tirte for freeriding, didn't try it for dh yet, but I guess cornering will be a problem.

Strengths:
This is THE tire for MUNI--mountain unicycling. It's huge volume lets you leap over obstacles. It's traction keeps you up when other tires let you down.
Weaknesses:
Yeah, it's heavy. But the best alternative is the Dyno 24 by 3, and they haven't made it for a long time.

Strengths:
Big+fat+chunky. Makes your bike look like one hell of a beefcake. you can hear everyone you pass commenting on the size of it. More of a winter/muddy grippy tyre.
Weaknesses:
(on front wheel) turns like a dead hippo. Probably really heavy, but you can`t feel it unless you really concerned about weight. You can`t always fit `em in frames. If you`re taking the tyre off, check that you don`t leave any tools in the tyre berfore you put it back on. A bit slow for dirtjumping though.
