Panaracer Fire XC UST
Number of Reviews:   1
Average Rating:

Tubeless version of one of our all-time favorite XC tires! Adaptable to front or rear use by changing direction. Ultralight Aramid folding bead. Differential height knobs reinforce the center tread and provide a greater amount of postive working tread

Pros: Knobbles grip in mud and shed it when it gets too deep/stick. The compound is soft so it sticks well to rocks/roads. The rolling resistance is low. It even works in snow. UST design means the tubeless is even better than the standard versions due to lower pressure, overall weight (lighter wheels) resistence to pinch flats.
Cons: Air-bleed is noticeable, so you have to top up before each ride, and sometimes during hte ride if your a fat-ass.
Time Used: Less Than A Month
Comments: Can't be faulted. I haven't punctured yet, with all the other tyres I've tried I'd be into double-figure puncture count. I've not tried it, but some kind of slime inside will stop/slow the air bleed and make them bomb proof. AWSOME!
Rating: 5
Recommendation: Yes I would recommend it to a friend
