Review
I tried the Super Tacky/Slow Reezay version of this tire with a single-ply sidewall. It's only 935 grams! I've been using it on the rear for about a month (on an Alex DX-32 rim), and another on the front for a couple days (on a Mavic 517).

I really like it so far - it grips even slippery rocks that my Monty 25" tire would've slipped right off of. Very comfortable tires to ride on because of how much they squish. It is very easy to preload the tires and use the rebound to throw the bike around (like when doing front tire hooks or wedges). I think the single-ply might pinchflat on the rear - the double-ply would probably be a safer bet.

I don't ride my trials bike for long distances, so I expect the tires to last a long while. People who ride long distances on their bikes may want a harder compound tire...

I am running this in the rear, and I love it. It hooks up everywhere, and if very complient. I'm using the 42/40 durometer, and it's starting to wear a little, but not enough to worry about. Overall, this tire rocks!
