Look to be made by maxxis - tread is the same as maxxis. £78.99 a pair delivered. I'm going to try them and report back - but if anyone else has tried them any views??

Get the view from Strongbow. He had a rear One of these last Sunday, for the first time. He seamed happy with the grip off road, but wary that the profile of the tyre is odd (makes for a larger diameter wheel overall)....

I've ordered a front only as I still have two rear maxxis to use up. Can't complain at £37 delivered! They seem to have good reviews.

Would be interested to know the durability of these.

I'll let you know on my front I think strongbow had a rear one of these

[Dave]

Yeah OK. Coz we do a lot of miles on the trails and none of it demands epic quality tyres. As long as the tread is a decent pattern and lasts as long as a maxxis I'd be happy to switch. I always found my Michelin tyres wore down pretty quick.

Hi just put a pair on my xr400, they are Maxxis, only with thicker side walls 4 X ply ( instead of 2) So a Bit heavier than the the Maxxis but stronger for off road work. They need a little time to bed in for road use (about 20- 30 miles) then grip fairly well. Also I found getting the pressure on the back down to 15 - 18 psi made then much better all-round. In summery about the same prise as the maxxis, same quality just a bit heaver but stronger sidewalls. I have the maxxis on A Bultaco Alpina so have a reasonable basis for comparison, except at high speed as The old Taco only gets to about 45mph, (off road it gives a mighty good performance!) Hope this may help anyone thinking about getting some.

P.S The thinker side wall is meant to help prevent punctures.

Interesting stuff guys
I'm getting closer to needing a new set of tyres so please keep this updated

Just getting back from weekend in France - all I can say is that the surge was the nuts - the grip was cracking. Will definitely switch.
