Very Good grip on off road. when fully inflated, it looks as big as my Highroller 2.5. | | Weaknesses: | SUPER TACKY!!!! I use this tires from my street rigs to my downhill rigs. Wears off to fast. | | Similar Products Used: | Maxxis.com -> Highrollers 2.5UST, Minion F/R,Swampthing 2.5 and Kenda -> Nevegal 2.35 | | Bike Setup: | Scott YZ0 limited , DaBomb Projectile..Both fitted with mavic DeeMax wheelset . | | Bottom Line: | Good tires, affordable, valued for money. Different sizes would be a plus point though.. what a waste... But non the less.. If you are in the market to get new tires you might wanna try these blings on for 'size'. You wont regret 'em.

Date Reviewed: September 30, 2005 | | Duration Product Used: | Tested or demo'ed only | | Strengths: | Bling Bling on the front defines my favorite bike and the bike I choose first. Fast rolling with stiff edge blocks. | | Weaknesses: | Every other tire I try is worse. So I wreck a lot trying to find something better. This tire will end your search for a good front tire. | | Similar Products Used: | Yellow Kirin, Earl, Vertical protection, High roller, larsen TT, python, IRC Mythos, Fire XC, Negeval, holy roller, k-rad | | Bike Setup: | Various | | Bottom Line: | Buy this tire for the front if you can stand the weight and go around corners.
For the back if you want something rounder buy something else. I run pythons,earls, larsen tt, vertical pro, holy roller, or yellow kirin in back. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: June 6, 2004 | | Favoriate Trail: | Tai Mo Shan | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Price Paid: |
$25.00 | | Purchased At: | Bicycle World HK | | Strengths: | Superb on hardpack terrain, fast rolling and very sticky (Super Tacky 42a). Not too heavy, low rolling resistance and high volume gives a plush ride.
| | Weaknesses: | Deep Mud?
Would be nice to have a lighter kevlar bead version. | | Similar Products Used: | Michelin XLS, Hot S. Panaracer Fire XC Pro's, Hutchinson Octopus/Scorpion/Pythons all UST. | | Bike Setup: | Blur/XTR/Thomson/Crossmax + Stans. | | Bottom Line: | Great for hardpack terrain, dry or (greasy) wet. I'm running the Single ply 2.35 Supertacky on the front and the harder durometer 60a on the back and it give the bike a very stable feel in all situations .. whether descending technical terrain, fast cornering or climbing the loose stuff. The low profile knobs in the centre keep the rolling resistance low, whilst the side knobs are great for off camber singletrack. Climbing and braking performance is great. I've found that I can stay off the brakes and use the sideknobs to rail corners unlike any other tyre I've tried.
Weight is around 760grms for the Supertacky's and about 850grms for the 60a. I'm running these tubeless with Stans. They have about 1mm tire clearance each side of the chainstay on my blur, so very tight ... hence not if you're going to be riding in deep mud!
Just on the mud performance, they drift a little but somehow seem to grip as the side knob engages (if you know what i mean)... so only a marginal weakness...

Crazily Sticky. | | Weaknesses: | prolly wear fast. | | Similar Products Used: | Motoraptors(crap), Larsen MiMo, Dy-no-mite... | | Bottom Line: | This tire sticks like hell. U can really hear it. Its like the sound of a vans shoe. Its cushy and comfy and takes hits. Not to mantion ultra cheap. I hav the 60A compound so i guess it won really wear as fast but still sticky as hell! Buy it!!

$28.00 | | Purchased At: | Downhill Zone Seattle | | Strengths: | Snot to a hanky is an apt description. These are the best Moab tires I've used so far. Low center knobs lessen the rolling resistance, and the larger side knobs help get thru the sand. The 42 durometer compound allows you to climb or descend an almost verticle surface. They stick so well they probably save me from sliding into several nasty situations. Those familiar with the Toilet Bowl should try it with these tires.
| | Weaknesses: | Not the best choice for muddy conditions. Even though the knobs are widely spaced the rubber compound seems to hold mud moreso than a harder compound. | | Similar Products Used: | Continental, Panaracer, Tioga | | Bike Setup: | All of us agree that the Titus Quasimoto is the finest all around rig on the planet. | | Bottom Line: | Buy this tire. Put it on your new Quasi. Go to Moab! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$28.00 | | Purchased At: | Downhill Zone Seattle | | Strengths: | Great traction. The single casing wire bead makes a reasonable and more effective alternative to XC semi-slicks, or mondo moto tires. | | Weaknesses: | Needs a kevlar bead alternative for XC use. | | Similar Products Used: | Continental Survival Pro | | Bike Setup: | Titus Quasi | | Bottom Line: | I got these over the weekend and just tested them around the neighborhood. You can actually hear the 42 durometer rubber sticking to the surface. They seem to roll well with the low center knobs. I couldn't spin them climbing over damp rocks and wood obsticals. I will review them again after a trip to Moab in April. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
