Look for a large volume leight weight trail tyre (aren't we all). Ride mostly in the peaks and it's replacing some IRC Kujos. I'm looking at the Prowler MX 2.3 UST. It would be nice to save some weight.
Cheers
prowler here.... very very happy with the tyre 😀
Weirwolf on front. Seems grippy and fast.
Cheers guys. Sounds promising.
Grabbed a pair of weirwolfs, not great on the back so now have the two on front wheels of separate bikes. I live and ride in the dark peak 🙂
Just fitted a Prowler on the back of my TranceX, with a Stout on the front (very cheap on CRC). I'll pop this thread in my favourites and report back after a couple of rides.
I've got a 2.5 Weirwolf for sale if you are interested
prowler and stout combo here too, been running it since the end of last summer, handled everything i've ridden over and through, great mud clearance and grip on the loose stuff... dont want to change tyres for the summer as i like the current ones so much!
I also ride the Peaks and had the prowler MXs as they came as OEM on my bike. Thought they were awesome, nice and round, tons of grip. Did get a couple of pinch flats though when running < 35 psi in the back, so ghettoed them and didn't have any further problems.
Would have bought them again but I was attracted to the colossal girth of the 2.4 rubber queen which I still have on the front now. Gonna give Specialized Clutch SX a go next I reckon.
Cheers guys, looks like I'll try a couple of Prowlers then. The Stout sounds interesting but CRC aren't punting out the UST on the cheap.
Sorry I was running XT's not MX's! DoH!
Is there much of a difference?
Apart from mountain kings, I would have to rate the Wierwolf as the worst tire I've ever used. Completely unpredictable limit characteristics and less pinch flat protection than a 2.1 xc tyre. Avoid.
well, I've got a pair of 2.3 Prowlers waiting in the basket for me to press the button.
