Hutchison Mosquito

Average Rating:

These folding tires by Hutchison are one of the lightest X-country tires around, at around 460 grams each. They come in all Black or Black&Yellow. Get these for your next cross country ride and have some fun.

Pros: Light weight
Cons: Light weight tires
Time Used: 6 Months
Comments: Tore the knobs off, slashed the sidewalls, and way too many punctures - I ran out of patches! May be good on a soft surface - but what's the point?

Pros: very few, I was not at all impressed with the durability of these tires.
Cons: these tires wear quickly and have very lttile protection against pinch flats, after repalcing several tubes, I was relieved when, after 4 months, they wore enough to justify purchasing something else.
Time Used: 3 Months
Comments: I will not be purchasing any more Hutchinson products due to the lack of performance of these tires
Rating: 1
Recommendation: No I would not recommend it to a friend
