Durability, grip.

Review
These lasted me two years so far, and there is still about 2 mm left on the center studs. I ride mainly on concrete/tarmac, so these are very durable.
They are directional, so you might have to compromise a little ...
But other than that, these tires are tops!

i use a 2.35 one of these upfront and i will not use anything else. since moving up to the elite class in competitions there is a lot of sloped rocks, bigger ups etc. these tyres have improved my riding a great amount. go and buy one now!

I currently have the the Slow Reezay 40a 2.5. It is by far the best tire I have ridden. It grips just about anything, it will not slip, and with wide rims it doesnt fold. Also I have yet to get a pinch flat. The only real draw backs are the price ($60+USD) and the slow reezay wear very quickly. They work for trials, but with regular riding they won't last long.

i got this tyre in 2,5 60a compound, this coumpound is great, they have lasted 4 month now, and about on half wear, i do ride my trials bike long distances though, they just dont pinch at all, i run two inner tube in it, one cut, and it is this impossible to pinch. even when there's 20psi in it on a 9ft drop ! probably the best rear tyre. and also the 2.35 is great for the front,.

i run a 2.5 on the bak and a 2.3 on the front of my onza t-rex and the are amazing, they grip so well on the edge of ledges and on rocks. perfect for street and natural. they do wear down quite quick if you have super tacky but they arent that expensive.

Is a very good tire...,it works in wet and dry conditions, can run with low pressures with no pinch flats.If you are a casual rider it will long last.

Review
I have this tire, 26x2.5" on my freeride bike that I occasionally use for street/urban. It has very very good grip and good pinch flat resistance. Downside is it's really heavy (although some say it's worth the weight), and the tread wears down very fast. The price you pay for the excellent grip, I guess. Very Very grippy is what the bottom line should be. Grips like nothing else I've tried. They're relatively expensive tires, too.

i had this tire for 3 months and it is absolutely great. very good grip and it really does it's job properly. it doesn't pinch (usually). the only weakness is that it wears out easily. overall it's an excellent tire.
