Bit off topic, but what those tyres like as I have the XC's and I was wondering what the DH's were like?

deanvw

very very chunky

the DH are chunkyer on the side with bigger knobbles

WillGTJumper

What do you use them for ?

deanvw

General Riding lol.

But skate park, dirt, xc, singletrack Mostly

WillGTJumper

Neat and they provide good grip for park, i might look into them! as well as suggestions hopefully made in my topic on tyres in Buying Advice

deanvw

gd but they are on the expensive side 18.00 each! But you want DH2.30F for front and
DH2.30R for rear. it does make the difference

deanvw

the 2.30 are nearly the same size as a 2.5 in another tyre

WillGTJumper

oh right so pretty chunky

Amos

How do you find those tyres when its wet? I use to run them but found cornering in damp conditions nigh on impossible :S

deanvw

very!

deanvw

to be honest i've never used them in very wet conditions but cornering is very good when the ground is tacky!

WillGTJumper

Yeah I have been reading some reviews about the tyre, and they were saying it runs shit in the wet. What tyres are you running Amos?
