$15.00 | | Purchased At: | veloswap | | Strengths: | Big cushion, these babys provide plenty of float. They measure out at 55/58 which is bigger than any 2.5" tires I have and only weigh between 850-900 gr. Great tread pattern for the hardpack + gravel we ride on locally. | | Weaknesses: | These are not downhill tires. | | Similar Products Used: | Nokian Core, Maxxis Mofo DH, Michelin DH all sizes and flavors. | | Bike Setup: | Intense Uzzi, QR20, Avid discs, Rhyno lite | | Bottom Line: | Great tire for light duty freeride. I've been through 4 of them and haven't had a problem with any. I like to run a rear tire up front, I think it's a little more square and has a little less knob squirm than the front tire. They may be marketed as downhill tires but they're not, too light. The sidewall is xcountry thickness. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$15.00 | | Purchased At: | most UK bike shops | | Strengths: | They are "throw-away" cheap; they're much wider than most brand's 2.3's; because of this, they do have quite a lot of cushioning; they look pretty phat; they do grip quite well in light mud; they don't wear that fast if you stay off tarmac. | | Weaknesses: | As a competition tyre - just don't. They're not particularly grippy in any surface and actually quite dangerous in dry hardpack; if you pinch flat them badly the actual tyre can tear (mine did); they're too loose on the rim and can roll off when at pressures lower than 45psi; the sidewalls are no way strong enough and they squirm really badly when cornering and stones and debris get caught inbetween the rim/tyre; they're really unpredictable when cornering or sliding; riding them will make you a worse rider because you'll lose confidence in cornering.

$22.00 | | Purchased At: | Cambria | | Strengths: | Cheap, Roll fast | | Weaknesses: | Slit side wall. Pinch flats all the time. No traction in mud
| | Similar Products Used: | Gazzi's Kujos | | Bike Setup: | Bullit ud150 white bros hayes | | Bottom Line: | They Suck. Cheap cheap cheap the birds are singing your song. Cheap is what you spend and cheap is what you get.
These stink for Dh and are to heavy for XC. So what good are they? I thinks for a Huffy.. Riding to 7-11 as long as you dont jump the curb and pinch flat it. I bought this tire because I was low on cash at the time and needed some rubber. Now I have a real DH tire. A 2.65 Kujo!!!! | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
