Pros:	excelent grip in anything loose, sloppy or just plain nasty that the west coast has! This tire climbs like crazy and then comes back down the other side!
Cons:	they have a higher rolling resistance then race tires.
Time Used:	More than 2 years
Comments:	I've been running these during the winter on Vancouver island and they are great. weight and rolling resistance takes a back seat to tracking during that time of year. I run race slick once the sun comes out!
Rating:
Recommendation:	Yes I would recommend it to a friend

Pros:	Grip Grip Grip and Grip
Cons:	Severe wear on hard conditions. Unplesant cornering on concrete....but then why the hell are you riding a MTB on concrete ?
Time Used:	More than 2 years
Comments:	Fantastic grip in loose conditions as well as maintaining stability through the soft stuff Rears wear rapidly on harder surfaces and be prepared for first aid if you ride on concrete, they dont react to cornering well !
