UPDATE: Reviews section refreshed, redesigned, searchable: Go take a look
Got some Captain tires at discount. One is Control, the other SWorks.
What do those terms mean?
Only used to using Contis.
Control has thicker/tougher sidewall. Sworks lighter.
Control rear/swoks front is what a lot of folk do.
If not bothered about grams, go control (I've ripped 2 sworks)
Control used to mean front specific.
They had the [tyre name] Control and the [tyre name] Master - front and rear.
Not a lot. Different casing.
Specs [url= http://www.specialized.com/us/en/ftb/mtb-tires/xc-trail-tires ]HERE[/url], oddly enough...
The only confusing part is that they use the same terms across the range- so people thing a Control Butcher will be no tougher than a Control Fast-trak frinstance, though they're totally different.
