Does anybody have any experience with these tires?

[John Thompson]

JUST bought some (~100 miles) so no real-world results yet. But a few miles of jeep trails & I had no complaints on traction. But the price is steep in general... JT

........Ido! I do! I tried a rear, though it was just "OK". A little expensive, only got about 2500-3000 miles out of it, and mildly disappointed in offroad traction. I much prefer the Conti TKC80 in this category (50-50), though they're a bear to take on and off cold being stiff sided "tubeless" design, which is actually probably an advantage if you have a rolling flat (more stable and durable).

.........Yup, love being able to pack an extra pre-oiled foam filter without worrying about it being crushed. You can also throw on a Filterskin if you're gonna be in extra dusty conditions, then slip it off and ride out the plain foam filter under more normal conditions. Steve The Mule A17
