Date Reviewed: March 28, 2007 | | Favoriate Trail: | The neck snapper | | Duration Product Used: | 6 months | | Price Paid: |
$45.00 | | Purchased At: | The Peak | | Strengths: | Good grip on wet stuff. Smashes over anything. Nice thick side walls. | | Weaknesses: | Doesn't run too well in really dry conditions. Is a bit#h to put on the rim. Teard wears a little too fast. | | Bike Setup: | KHS FR2000/Droppoff/Romic/Avidbb7/Truvativ/Shimano | | Bottom Line: | Good tire, but not the best. If you only ride in the mud this tire is great. My Nokains are way better, can preform in all situtations. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: December 11, 2004 | | Duration Product Used: | 6 months | | Strengths: | Grip well
Very stiff sidewalls, nearly impossible to pinch flat | | Weaknesses: | Side knobs fell off over time
Tires wear way too fast
There is no way I would pay MSRP for these tires, simply not worth it | | Similar Products Used: | Maxxis, WTB | | Bottom Line: | When these tires were new, they gripped very well, but after only one race, the sideknobs began falling off, and during one run, I lost probably half of the knobs on one side, making it extremely difficult to finish the run. I sent the tires back to Intense (as they claimed it was a defect) and they promised to send me some new ones, but 6 months later, my tires still havent arrived. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$29.00 | | Purchased At: | Wheelworld | | Strengths: | Huge tire footprint, good flat protection, very tough, looks cool | | Weaknesses: | A bit heavy, but it is worth the extra grams to lug around | | Similar Products Used: | Maxxis 2.5 | | Bike Setup: | Iron Horse SGS-dh, stock but have Dorados up front | | Bottom Line: | Good tire, killer at Plattekille with 22 psi in FRO casing. never flats with Intense 2.7 tubes.

$60.00 | | Purchased At: | supergo | | Strengths: | tons of traction, sticky rubber works great, look like a mx tire, have used as little a 21 psi in them with no flats ever | | Weaknesses: | none, well a little heavy for free riding, but no flats! | | Similar Products Used: | maxxis(ok) Tioga (flat city) | | Bike Setup: | Santa Cruz bullet, xtr, boxxer, mavic | | Bottom Line: | this is the best big tire I have ever used out of the 6 years I have been riding. the tiogas gave me nothing but troubles and forget about trying to get them warrantied. the maxxis is oh but cornering traction was not as good at the 2.7 DH | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: July 28, 2002 | | Favoriate Trail: | northstar stuff | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Purchased At: | 5 finger discount | | Strengths: | big, beefy, and they grip relatively well. kids ask why my tires are so big | | Weaknesses: | way too slow rolling if you have sun doublewides with hope big'un hubs, and a 47 pound bike... no grip in dust | | Similar Products Used: | gazz, wtb, michelin, bare rims | | Bike Setup: | schwinn straight 6 with 8 inch conversion, boxxer, hope, azonic, raceface, tompson, intense tires | | Bottom Line: | I recently took these tires to Northstar, and in general they handled well. My bike stuck to the rocks and logs, as well as the fire roads, but they didn't do too much for me in the dust and loose stuff. They float over it, but in the corners, they tend to break free really easily. Despite their lack of cornering in the dust, they had surprising braking abilities, maybe because I'm so damn heavy that I dig the bike into the ground.
These tires also do not have the same cushion of Gazzaloddis, and after a day of fast technical riding, I quite literally had to peel my fingers off of my handle bars.

Date Reviewed: July 22, 2002 | | Favoriate Trail: | anything served by chairlift | | Duration Product Used: | 6 months | | Strengths: | Big,stiff, can run stupid low psi. | | Weaknesses: | Heavy, a real biotch to mount/ unmount | | Similar Products Used: | 2.5 WC, maxxis MoFo, IRC Kujo 2.65 | | Bike Setup: | Uzzi SLX, Jr. T | | Bottom Line: | Big a$$ tire that will smash over anything or anybody. Grips surprisingly well in the mud and wet rocks. I run 11 psi without any pinchflats. Weight will build up your arm strength but isn't so bad when you're going fast. Works good jumping stairs,too. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$30.00 | | Purchased At: | Safety bay Bikes | | Strengths: | 4-ply sidewalls
2.70 inch width
Grip in all conditions
Rolling Diameter | | Weaknesses: | Wieght (1560 grams!) | | Similar Products Used: | Nothing! It's an upgrade from the original tires that where on the bike when I bought it. Duro 2.125 MotoX tread. | | Bike Setup: | 2001 Norco Kokanee. Sun Mammoth rims laced with DT Swiss Alpine III. Numerous other bits! | | Bottom Line: | If you want a tire that grips and looks good and your not worried about the wieght this is it! I've only had it for about 2 weeks but it's been used in most conditions during that time. Mud pans, Downhill, Street racing etc. and it hasn't let me down yet. A bloody good tire (if it fits your bike!) | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$60.00 | | Purchased At: | TrailHead Cyclery | | Strengths: | Durability in extreme conditions, traction in the duff. | | Weaknesses: | really friggin heavy. | | Similar Products Used: | Kujo DH, Maxix, WTB | | Bike Setup: | Titus QM DH. | | Bottom Line: | this is the tire you need for the world cup courses and other very harsh dh conditions where there is big rocks, and thick duff. If the course has any peddling at all, leave this tire at home. You'll need a set of metal tire irons to get these guys on and off. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
