Pros: Great tire. Gives grip like no other when climbing. Tread really grabs on rocks and in mud. The horrizontal design on the back tire is great for both climbing and breaking down hill, and the front tire really diggs in in corners. You don't wash out when your digging hard.
Cons: Almost none. Front tire wears a little uneven, but that could be anything.
Time Used: More than 2 years
Comments: Great all around tire. If your not in powder sand, it will get you anywhere you can think to go. Rocky sections is where your really notice the no slip grip of the back tire.

Pros: everything you could imagine.... from the extreamly deep one inch knobs to the very well manufactured construction. There are no flaws.
Cons: There are none!
Time Used: 6 Months
Comments: This tire is incredable, it holds you to a muddy trail like you wouldn't believe. The knobs are about a inch deep allowing you to tackle any type of terrain. On the streets still pritty good, but when cornering at speed over 30 kilometers, the tires do feel like they want to slide out from under you. But what do you expect from a extreamly knobby tire with one inch knobs....?
