    Favoriate Trail:Any
    Duration Product Used:More than 3 years
    Price Paid: $10.00
    Purchased At:Supergo
    Strengths:I have been using these tires for over 5 years now and I have been very inpressed buy the very rugged and stiff sidewall. I purchased several pairs on closeout before Supergo went out of business. These tires are very puncture resistant even running at a low 15lbs. of pressure on very sharp and rocky trails. These tires also wear very well and rail on smooth single tracks.
    Weaknesses:The only problems I had were mounting these tires on Arrow 24 inch DH rims. I had to use steel Motorcycle tire levers to mount and dismount the tires when new. Also the tires are a little heavy, but that did not bother me too much.
    Similar Products Used:Nokian Gazzi's 2.7 and 3.0, Intense 24 x 2.35, Panaracer fire DH 24 x 2.6, Arrow DH and IRC 24 x 2.35's.
    Bike Setup:2001 Specialized Big Hit 8inch travel kit w/ FOX RC, Marzocchi Shiver DC, Hadley 20mm front and 10mm rear Ti laced to Arrow Racing DH rims, Raceface DH cranks ETC.
    Bottom Line:I used up my last pair of 24 x 3.0's and I don't know if these are still availble, but I highly recommend these tires to anyone who wants a durable, puncture resistant and fast 24 inch DH tire. If you can still get these tires buy a few and try and them out. I know you will be satisfied with their performance.

    Favoriate Trail:All
    Duration Product Used:More than 3 years
    Price Paid: $30.00
    Purchased At:ebay, nsmb, pinkbike
    Strengths:sidewall stiffness= low psi's even for a 250lber like me; tread knobs blend sticky traction with good wear duration; rotatable; big volume acts as another 2inces of default suspension.
    Weaknesses:the weight for some, but not for me...just head to the gym and do squats, lunges and deadlifts (safely) and go out on an xc hill ride for endurance
    Similar Products Used:Arrow slow react 24x3.0 (worked as good...these are my 2 favourite tires in ther back.0
    Bike Setup:cortina, banshee, norco
    Bottom Line:I love big volume...I have big volume...that's all that matters when riding (with some fine tuning the tires hook-up to most anything.)

    Favoriate Trail:Nobel Canyon
    Duration Product Used:More than 3 years
    Price Paid: $35.00
    Purchased At:Supergo
    Strengths:Motor cycle like carcass. Very durable and puncture resistant sidewall. Great tire to run at 15lbs. Xlnt grip and control on straight line braking. Wears fairly good for a 60 dur. tire.
    Weaknesses:These tires weight alot!! Hard to get them rolling from dead start. Intense needs to offer a 24 x 2.6 with the 3.0.
    Similar Products Used:Arrow 24 x 2.6 (These tires run really small. A 2.6 DH is almost the same size as a IRC 24 x 2.35 KUJO DH), Nokian 24 x 2.6 Gazzalodi Jrs.
    Bike Setup:2001 Specialized Big Hit Pro, Marzocchi Shiver, Hayes Hydro 8inch, Arrow 24" rims laced to Intense/Hadley hubs etc.
    Bottom Line:Great tire for Jumping gaps, steep drops where a heavy duty tire is needed for puncture resistance. These tires do not hook up well on hard loose gravel turns. Great all around freeride tire, kinda heavy for DH racing. But if you have the leg power these tires might work well for you. I have used two sets of these tires and I am very satisfied with their performance.
