IRC Mythos XC Racing Tire Kevlar Blackwall - Set of 2 DEAL
Number of Reviews:   3
Average Rating:

Boasting IRC’s proven Mythos tread design with a full Kevlar bead, this XC tire does it all. The front tire features a tapered directional block pattern that achieves predictable steering and solid braking.

Pros: Very fast and hook up great in most conditions. Very good at climbing. Last a good while and fairly light weight. Run great even at low pressures. Kudos on the low price.
Cons: A bit squirrely in sand and even worst on loose cornering.
Time Used: More than 2 years
Comments: A great overall tire and a good balance of features. Sand requires a bit of skill/technique to handle properly. But the unpedictability in a loose dirt/sand corner is its greatest fault.
Rating: 4
Recommendation: Yes I would recommend it to a friend

Pros: Good traction in loose mud and gravel. Relatively low rolling resistance. Low price.
Cons: Sidewalls are a bit thin. I reccomend thick innertubes or even Cyclo nomorflats solid innertubes (impossible to puncture) from www.nomorflats.com
Time Used: More than 2 years
Comments: Good rubber compound; lasts a long time when you don't skid, and bites into the dirt.
