are these any good? i have found a pair in a box of stuff and have never used them, do people rate them as a mud tyre?

I believe they are very similar to Bontrager Mud-X, which is the best ‘all-round conditions’ tyre (mud -> dry trails). Never used myself though.

Yes, excellent – in the mud they are pretty awesome, plenty of grip and mud shedding capability.

In the dry, bit draggy but roll pretty OK – better than some general purpose tyres I’ve ridden like Maxis Advantage or Rubber Queens.

Price wise they are competitive and given they are tubeless ready what’s not to like

I like them. I’ve got a pair on one bike and a set of TrailRalkers on another.

I’d say they were not quite as grippy as Trailrakers in the gloop round here (N Downs / Surrey Hills so muddy but not clay), but roll easier on hardpack/tarmac.

I changed my rear Specialized Fasttrak on my Epic to a Storm Control and has proven a superb tyre. I have run Bonty Mud-x’s over the last 4 years and the Storm’s are equally as good in the gloopy stuff and I would say a little better at rolling when running on hardpack or tarmac.
Cheap as chips also!

I was going to get some to run tubeless, but the sidewalls felt like tissue paper. Get good reviews.

love mine, great allround winter tyres

They are amazing, a king among tyres, performance in mud is astounding, yet they eat rocks for breakfast and roll sublimely fast on tarmac. Coincidentally I have a pair for sale if anyone is interested in trying these amazing rubbery beasts:

I’m a big fan of Storms. Very good in the mud, capable on rooty wet treacherous winter terrain. Surprisingly good in the dry, and as pypdjl says good on tarmac. (how do you pronounce pypdjl?)

i have 2 for sale inthe FOR SALE forum

cheers

how do you pronounce pypdjl?
