Review
These came on my Echo Team mod bike. They are fine for general trials riding, but just have average grip. The rear tire doesn't have very thick sidewalls - to get the amount of bounce I like, I have to set the tire pressure so low that the tire folds over when hopping on slanted objects and might pinchflat on pointy rocks. However, I weigh 170 lbs, and perhaps this rear tire was intended for a much lighter rider. I'd take an old full-fat Monty rear tire (no white stripe) over these any day.

If you're a light rider, don't have much to spend, and just ride urban stuff, this would be a fine tire for you.

For several years now, 20" mod bike tires have fallen behind 26" tires, technologically. Try-All has a sticky compound mod tire, and Maxxis and Kenda are working on prototypes to be released later on in 2004. Those may be better options than this tire.
