I ask about getting a set at Sea Otter. Toby Henderson (who now owns Intense Tires) told not to bother, said the knobs are too close together and the cornering suffers. Look at the Intense CC 2.25, very nice intermediate to soft conditions (except mud).schlitz said:im in the market for a new set of tires and was looking at the intense system 4's.
just wondering if any of you have ridden them, ans what the pros vs cons are.
thanks
I use one 2.25 System 4 in front in Nor Cal wet conditions. They are not stickeee rubber but they are higher grip on rock compared to most general use tires. For comparison they are much better wet condition grip on slippery rocks and roots than any WTB tire or a FireXC. They are slow rolling so I use a MutanoRaptor 2.4 in the back which are the best rolling tire I've ever ridden and shed mud fairly well (which is no bigger than the Intense 2.25). I've found the System 4's to be very grippy in Nor Cal conditions of loose dirt over hardpack, gravel, and rocks.schlitz said:im in the market for a new set of tires and was looking at the intense system 4's.
