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.

Review
My mate had these tyres and they are probably the poorest tires out there.
These have so skinny walls that it wasnīt rare to have more than one punctures per day.

The rubber used on these is quite weird, itīs soft but doesnīt offer good grip. These wear out really fast and side walls will be ruined if ridden with smaller airpressures.

Really evil tires, donīt even look to these.

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.

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!
