Description:The aggressive intermediate profile grips firmly on any terrain. The SnakeSkin sidewall saves weight without losing stability, while Triple Compound gives Muddy Mary the optimal combination of easy rolling, durability and cornering grip. The extremely sticky competition compound, Gooey Gluey, has for the first time been paired with a flexible underbody that achieves an acceptable rolling resistance.

Strengths:
good for intended use
Weaknesses:
it cant do everything ;.)
too big
Similar Products Used:
Big Betty FR, Conti Diesel
Bike Setup:
light freeride bike with Lyrik, Evolver, Formula The One
Bottom Line:
I have the freeride version (folding bed) in 2.5 " size, Gooeygluey compound in front and Triple in back.
These tires are really big! Check your frame before, the are not only 67mm wide, but also very high! The weight is just under 1000g each, about 100grams more than BigBetty. Thats ok.
The grip on loose soil, mud and wet stones/roots is outstanding.
When it comes to hardpack or flat stones/tarmac, the tire is easy to pedal, but the giant knobs will roll over slightly in corners and give you an unstable feel.
The sheer size of the tire gives a plush feel when hitting hard over ocks and stuff. I didnt have a flat yet, but I think for downhilling the DH version will be safer.
