Medusa is being replaced by the Beaver. Didn't know about Swampy though.

Ah.

I did wonder why magazine mud tyre tests were ignoring the Swampthing. Singletrack's definitely didn't include it in their line-up. I'm assuming they knew it was being discontinued?

I don't use mine much but I just ordered another to make sure I have two for the winter.

I think nextdaytyres are just about to have a massive boost in orders for these.

I've a pair of them sitting in the garage if anyone wants to make me an offer ๐Ÿ˜‰

Virtually unused as well. They are the 'non super-tacky' version so they dont drag quite as much. Good tyres...
