Review
The only way I could even come close to getting this tire to not pinch flat was to run like 35 psi or more... and that was in front... and when i pinched the back tire, I ended up actually punching a hole through the sidewall... the tire was/is now useless... They looked good in their nifty little bags... but that was about their useful extent

I have had no pinch flats in 2 years! Im 185lbs and run the rear at 26psi on a rino lite with a standard xc tube. Call it luck or whatever. I have went through rims but still no pinch flats. Im sure there is better and I know there is worse but this one has worked great for me.

not the best tire out there, pretty grippy, cheap. that's about it. there's plenty of better tires out there for the same price, i.e. kujo DH... the rolling resistance is pretty high, good news is u won't ever need a bell cuz u can't sneak up on anyone -- you'll b too noisy! lol i hear it wears pretty quickly... sooo its not the best, but i guess its an ok tire if ur not lookin for much performance... haha

These tyres must be made by the pinch-flat devil.
They came on my bike when I bought it.

I ran these back in the day when i sucked and i hated them. Now that im much better, they only fold because of my mistakes.

ive had these tyres for a long time and i have never had a flat i dont know if thats because i run a big fat downhill tube in it or what. i think that thes tyres dont really give that much grip specially for trials where you need grip.

I rode this tire on the rear with a alex dx32 for a year and the tread was almost bald but still very rideable. I never had a pinch flat and they feel almost the same as a Michelin that costs 60 dollars.
Great tire for the money(Y)

Review
theres nothing really nice to say about this tire except that its the cheapest i know. i tried the 2.35 version and it sucks. if you put it on the front you'll fall every time it rains or you come across loose dirt,as for the rear-it's even worse: cant run low pressure, pinches, no grip, folds and youre gonna love maxxis after you try this :P. since its twice as cheap you could ride on these. at least they are tires.
