Specialized Chunder tyres

Skonk

Howdy.

My Spesh SX Trail came with a pair of Specialized Chunder SX 2.3 tyres, which I have actually been very impressed with.

A friend of mine fancied a set because of how well they seem to perform for me but we have both spent a fair bit of time trying to track down a retailer that stocks them in the UK with little to no success.

We did find them listed in a couple of online stores but they were out of stock (one of them stating that they cant source them from specialized anymore) so in the end he went with some simalar Maxxis tyres.

Just wondering if anyone knew of anywhere that sells them since at some point I'll have to replace mine and I'd quite like to stick to the same brand/model?

Cheers.

James.

Ring these guys up.

Spesh don't fit chunder anymore, they have been replaced by the 'clutch' tyre.

Maxxis highrollers are closest to chunder in feel and design, with highrollers giving better stopping power.

I thought maybe they'd discontinued them but I was looking at a 2010 SX Trail FSR 2 (the top end one) and it had a Clutch on the front and a Chunder on the rear, thats on the brand new model of the bike so I wasn't sure.

I'll have a look at that site, if they have any I may buy a pair and keep them ready for when needed

If not then I guess it'l have to be the Maxxis option.

Cheers.
