Used Product For 1 Month Strengths cheap price, good grip Weaknesses soft sides - a lot of snakebites! Similar Products Used michelin hot s Review since i use this tire i'm afraid of doing big gaps becoz of the snakebites - i've catched bout 6 of'em during the month i have it. the cap (is it the right word?;) is good, gives good grip on the edges (for example by doing pedal-up), but the sides are veeeery soft and thin - that's the biggest weakness of this tire.

Used Product For Tested Only Strengths They are black Weaknesses Poor rubber, way too skinny walls, pattern doesn´t work at all. Similar Products Used Many others... Review My mate had these tyres and they are probably the poorest tires out there. These have so skinny walls that it wasn´t rare to have more than one punctures per day. The rubber used on these is quite weird, it´s soft but doesn´t offer good grip. These wear out really fast and side walls will be ruined if ridden with smaller airpressures. Really evil tires, don´t even look to these.

Used Product For 3 Months Strengths big size, hard tread, beadlock, cheap Weaknesses orange sidewall, but can look good if you have a black bike Similar Products Used cheap XC tires, Maxxis Minion 2.7 Review I got the front and the rear, but I'm only running the front now because I got a maxxis minion 2.7. they have a good bead-lock, and they arnt as expensive as say Maxxis or Michelin. good beginner tire but a bigger level may want something with more grip, these would be good urban and street tire because of the hard compound.

Used Product For 1 Month Strengths low chance of flats, roll nicely Weaknesses wear easily, makes hitting the rim a breeze Similar Products Used Tioga White Tiger 2.50 Review i'm not a full-time trials rider, by i borrowed these tyres of a friends bike and they were perfect. I was doing trails running only about 25psi and they rolled nice. i suggest 2.35

Strengths good in snow Weaknesses quite thin sidewalls Similar Products Used maxxis mobster etc. Review I think this tire is more suitable in wet conditions. I haven't had a snakebite yet. I'm riding with small pressure. If you don't have enough cash to buy the top of the line tires, these are the tires for you!
