just looking on wiggle website for some Kenda Blue groove tyres for winter and it has the initials 'DTC' next to the name kenda blue groove..wot does this mean ? yep and i know DH means down hill....
two different compounds of rubber used
softer on the shoulders for better grip when leant over, harder in the centre for rolling resistance/longer life

Dual Tread Compound.
Elaine, are you going to be running those on the front or rear? I'm curious as i'm thinking of getting one for the front.
I have just bought a blue groove for the front and a nevagal for the back. And I have to say i'm split down the middle, the grip is truely awesome, and i mean awesome. Certainly up there with the best tyres i've ridden. rolling resistance is bareable, not as good as my MK's but then again i didn't expect them to be.
The only problem is their apparent lack of puncture resistance. I did a ride up in the lakes saturday and had one pinch flat and one puncture, then i went to Gisburn sunday and had another pinch flat. Maybe conincidence but I didn't have this issue with the MK's
yep 'solman' im getting tyre for the FRONT....ordered it already.... i have recently put 'kenda nevegal' stick e rubber compound on the rear wheel...
elaine, you would be better off replacing the stick-e Nev on the rear with a DTC as these are slow draggy tyres due to the stick-e compound.
