$10.00 | | Purchased At: | Performance Bikes | | Strengths: | Super Light, good grip on the cross country trails and fast as heck. | | Weaknesses: | They go bald pretty fast and the compound is a little hard, but for that price I'm not crying. | | Similar Products Used: | Hutchinson Pythons | | Bike Setup: | Custom Kona Cinder Cone | | Bottom Line: | These are great tires, great weight, great price. Put them on your cross country race bike and you will be greatly surprised. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$13.00 | | Purchased At: | Performance | | Strengths: | Very light and cheap. 120 TPI for $13 is pretty darn good. | | Weaknesses: | Won't last forever, but who cares at $13? Probably not real puncture-resistant, but no flats so far. | | Similar Products Used: | Lots of WTB, Hutchinson, Specialized, IRC, Michelin, Conti | | Bike Setup: | GT Zaskar LE &Trek 8700, built up the way I like them | | Bottom Line: | Great tires for enjoying the drought! Here in SoCal the trails are dry and dusty after 3 inches of rain in the last year. One benefit of the drought is there are lots fewer goathead thorns this year, so I decided to ride lighter tires after a couple years of having to be totally thorn-proof on Specialized Roll-X Armadillos (totally puncture-proof, really heavy). I'm very happy with the FastTracs. They're nice and light, cheap, and ride pretty damn nice. Not so good in mud or deep loose stuff, but I don't expect them to be since that's not the job of a low-tread XC tire. Seem to be a very good value for 13 bucks. | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$15.00 | | Purchased At: | Performance | | Strengths: | Light, easy to mount, does not wash out in the turns, good traction on medium to hard surfaces, low price, low rolling resistance | | Weaknesses: | Does not have enough grip for soft surfaces and sand. Sidewalls are thin and could be a concern in rocky terrain | | Similar Products Used: | Hutchinson Mosquito Lights, Kenda Klaw, IRC Mythos | | Bike Setup: | Specialized Rockhopper, Skarab fork, RaceFace cranks, SRAM 7.0 deraillers and shifters, Terry Ti Fly saddle, WTB hubs and rims | | Bottom Line: | Good value for the money if you ride on medium to hard trails or streets. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
