    I think its because the carcass is ORC. RocketRons seem to have a reputation as very flimsy race tyres

    At the moment my plan Is Kenda Nevegal DTC 2.1. Seem to be just over £22.

    http://www.allterraincycles.co.uk/product/124255.html

    My last buy where High Rollers but they've got expensive and the last ones were slipping on my rims. Currently on the Bontrager XR my bike came with, but theyare poor in the wet. They coped today but only just.

    As ever opinions vary but the basically seem popular as a winter capable tyre.

    I'm buying 2. Might change the back to a small block 8 in the summer

    Just fitted Specialized Storm Control 2.0's to my Soul and they seem a pretty good tyre for this time of year, replaced my Rubber Queens until probably April/May time next year!

    Kenda Nevegals are sloooooow and not espeially grippy. They're not bad, but there are plenty of grippier tyres out there, lots of those are faster too!
