Whats the Small Block 8 Tyre or Short Tracker Tyre from Kenda like when you hit the tarmac, particularly when in the wet and cornering?

    I've been riding the block 8 for the past 5 months or so and absolutely love them.

    For a small looking tyre they lay a lot of rubber down which helps in all weather conditions. Great coverage right up to and round the edge helps in corners and they're handle well at slow speeds.

    They're a fast rolling tyre and although they may not handle thick gloopy mud well, they cut through a lot. I've had them on forest tracks in January with a mixture of walkways, bogs and thick mud and the only problem I had was hitting a hidden tree root ;)

    I've put my faith in them in rain and on long corners at speed (commuting) and I only had one scary moment when I hit a patch of broken, loose tarmac... but you would on a knobbly.

    I'm sticking with these as they're the best combination or grip and speed without compromise.
