After a couple long rides I’m extremely happy with the back tire I bought. It’s thicker than the stock tire that came with my mountain bike and the tread patter really digs. I took it through softly packed sandy material and while my front tire sunk into the ground and didn’t want to go forward, my back tire just kept digging forward. The bike was sunk about 2 inches down into this sandy material (up to the rims) but I was still able to push forward. That’s no feat of mine. I damn near had a heart attack after a couple minutes of that…but the tire got me through it. I’m so pleased with it that as soon as I have the extra cash I’m going to purchase the front tire of the set. Now the downsides, if you can call it that, are the noise/vibration and installation. When riding on pavement there is a noticable and slight noise from the tire along with a slight vibration. You’ll get that with any deeply treaded mountain bike tire but be aware of it if that’s a deal breaker for some reason. Installing the tire was difficult at first. It had so much slack around the rim that I couldn’t see how it would fit. After thinking it over I was able to get the tire snuggly fit to the rim. I had to inflate my tube most of the way full and tuck either side of the tire (on the rim side of the tire) inwards towards the rims. After tucking in the sides of the tire and inflation the tubes the tire fit perfectly. It’s a great tire at a great price and I’m looking forward to buying the front tire.

These are the best grippy rear tire and the best steering tire I’ve ever had The pleasure to deal with.These tires should not be 2.1 size they should be 2.35 minimum and up to 2.4 they would sell a lot more tires and then have a lot more usesMy rim is a double wall combat rims.Don’t get me wrong they group extremely well I’ve had no washouts but the tires just too skinny

Took it to the trails and wow. Took very sharp corners and didn’t disappoint. I recommend this tire.Sadly, the name of the brand isn’t that white (visible) on the tire. And it is heavy but it’s ok. I only use it for light jumps.

These tires are great, and they happen to run smoother than my previous Kenda MTB tires. Also the grip feels great, especially when cornering — I feel the sides biting into the terrain and keeping me on the track. I used two “front” tires on my bike, I think that setup was a better fit for my application than using the funky high-friction (and high-noise) back tire. But for hardcore forest trail biking that back tire might be better (it’s just not the kind of biking that I do). Highly recommended!

Been riding since 1984, lots of tires since then, these are a great value and work very well, traction, braking, cornering, all very good. Replaced the exact same tires with these because I know they’re awesome. Pretty easy to mount, at least on my rims.

I have finally installed both front and rear comp of this tire, and I must say the front is needed much more than expected. The rear REALLY digs when you pedal giving superb traction and take off speed. But the front glides right through on a strait line, wgen you turn however, there are side paddles on the front that dig in and keep you stable. I can evem do controlled power slides with ease now. phenominal for loose terrain, sand, gravel, mud. They have a good flat rolling speed for what they are on hardpack/road, but they cannot corner quite so well on that terrain, so keep that in mind and choose a tire according to your “main terrian.”

I would have preferred a folding bead, but it does hold air better than my ancient panaracer dart. Looking forward to the trails.

I’ve been happily using this tire for 3 years traveling from 5 – 30 miles daily (round trip) to work, to the supermarket etc and after 3 years I finally needed a new back tire for my ebike, therefore once again I happily decided to purchase the same tire from the same seller, read my review and look at the photos to see why I say I’ll happily purchase it again.
