I just wanted to report back on how I’m getting along with these tyres. Admittedly, the trails have been bone dry so I have no idea how they will behave on slippy stuff. Anyway, they are on my FS bike and I’ve been thrashing down the local DH on them in my usual clumsy manner…
* They feel quite cushioned compared with my usual Maxxis and the volume seems roughly the same as a 2.35 HR.
* They seem happy enough at 30/35psi and to roll quite nicely – no worse than ADvs or HRs, possibly a bit quicker than the HRs
* The profile is rounder and it is noticeable that the bike turns in faster, but the side knobs still feel there and do something.
I’ll report again when I’ve ridden in some slop, but my current opinion is that they seem like a really good buy at the discount price.
