The Captainthey don't like the Chalk/Roots in the south downs. tried the on a demo day, you can tell the designed in California, I’m sure there good in sand or stony soils.
never tryed Purgatory.
@scottfitzEvo's, front one and back one run different ways.
which version is that? mine just say 'rotation' with an arrow, so the same front or rear
I do like maxxis but the good ones only last me 4/5 months (i ride alot)
What most people are saying... I thought they were the tyre du jour on STW and everybody wanted them. I tried them when On-One were knocking them out cheap and hated them. Waiting to get my first ride on some Panaracer Rampages now. Heavier but I'd rather have a bit more heft and something that'll give me confidence on the trails I normally ride...
So out of curiosity what are the Maxxis and Continental equivalents, ie. all rounder, to Nics which I’m running at the minute and have never used anything else.

Never used Continental but i do use maxxis high rollers and minion, the super tacky one are brilliant but don’t last only put them on for alps, afan, brechfa trips etc...
Epic fail!!! Tomorrow night I will be refitting my NN's the right way round, doh!!!
They wear quickly, good rolling speed, light, no good in mud
Really? I just rode my recently converted-to-tubeless-with-stans half worn Snakeskin Nics, ridden all over the country in 2011, in some epic mud and slop at the weekend.
They were very grippy, more comfortable and more predictable than the (Tubed) Bonty Mud X's on t'other wheels.
But There is a comment in bike radar review that everyone runs them differently to the arrows isn't there (or did I make that up!!)
Anyone with experience?
Bikeradar review says they are now both run front way round which most users did anyway, wasn't aware of that myself
I started with NN at last years Mountain Mayhem.
Brand new for that,i was dubious with some of the stories but have loved them.
I don't ride particularly elegantly so bounce around and smash off things. Never split or had a puncture, and i'm a tad over 16 stone.
A note about the direction thing. I have mind the right way, but I've still had a couple of comments about them being wrong. Guess the ramps and knobs aren't the traditional configuration?!
As an alternative id recommend a Conti x king. They use the black chilli compound and are half the price of nn's. They roll faster and grip just as good, if not better.

Brilliant or just ride backwards?
Those that know me would say I struggle riding forwards!!!

I run them as designed.
Is like the people that run a Minion DHF front tyre on the rear. They will work best how there dsigned.
