Favorite Trail:
Fair Hill, MD
Duration Product Used:
3 months
Price Paid:
$25.00
Purchased At:
Ebay
Strengths:
Holy tread!!!!! Traction when you need it. Can be run at VERY LOW pressures. Almost a run-flat tire!!!!
Weaknesses:
Heavy as all get out!!! DH casing makes this impossible for XC racing in ALL MUD conditions. You MUST have metal, high leverage tire levers to get these on and off!!!! The casing is very tough plus a wired bead. Cant run on tarmac.
Similar Products Used:
Bomtrager, Panaracer, Hutchinson
Bike Setup:
5 inch freeride KHS
Bottom Line:
XC racing- FORGET IT! DH or freeriding in MUD- Good. Can air down to very low pressures for added traction. 5 chilies for value, as I got these for half of MSRP. 4 chilies for overall due to the extremely hard to on-off process.
