| Duration Product Used: | 3 months |
| Strengths: | lateral grip, wet weather/ dry traction |
| Weaknesses: | wears too easily |
| Similar Products Tried: | leader pro, nokian nbx, velociraptor |
| Bike Setup: | kona hei hei ti. |
| Bottom Line: | Was raving about this from the last review, but after a few months I see too much wear! Must be the soft compound melting with the heat? knobs are now close to zero after the 3rd month. mind u, these tires ain't cheap! |

| FavoriteTrail: | Niagara escarpement is 500 miles long |
| Duration Product Used: | 2 Years |
| Price Paid: | $65 |
| Purchased At: | LBS |
| Strengths: | I ride a silver bike with silver wheels - those stripes- |
| Weaknesses: | They wore out after 1.5 years ( thats 6 separate seasons around here). Dry pavement shaves these guys down real quick. The secound winter on em has been pretty scary. |
| Similar Products Tried: | I've got about 30 worne out tires down there Only 2 pairs of UST's though. |
| Bike Setup: | Santa Cruz softail/crossmax/ & stans & a nitro inflator Jusr kidding - my car dealer buddy has one. |
| Bottom Line: | I wrote a longer one under the other heading for these guys.. here I'll say they were fun as long as they lasted but when you have 2 sets of wheels to switch around for different conditions you should get more then 1.5 years before you start slideing sideways more than trackin front ways. Forget mud to test a tire try shiny ice on a downhill. We wear padded gloves for more then warmth. They suggest 25 -9 lbs for racin but I usually kept em @ 39+ lbs nitrogen & they held that for months. Now I'm shoppin for something just short of studs.. |
