UST Tires - Opinions Please

joejoe

Any help would be great - I want a good all round UST tyre for mainly trail riding. I am not a harsh rider and like good grip in mud etc. I was looking at Maxxis High Roller LUST 2.35 DH tyres (on sale at CRC). I normally stay away from DH items as they tend to be heavy but these are listed as 680g which sounds quite light to me.

Anyone used this tyre? Any other ideas?

Cheers Joe

If they are 680g each I will bare my ar$e. More like 900g.

That would be amazingly light for most UST tyres, nevermind UST DH tyres.

680g is what has been quoted

That is for the 2.1.

The 2.35 is 880g.

i just ordered a pair too
Should be here tomorrow with any luck - its a bit treacherous out there trying to rock a pair of Ardents......far too drifty for my liking - especially between trees <ouch>

Used a pair of those in super-stickey compound when I had a bouncy bike; absolutely awesome. Good choice!

Just to go against the flow, I hate High Rollers! :evil:

They're appalling in mud, clagging-up in no time at all, offering zero grip, and I find that they wear quickly too. That's just my opinion though

I have been running the 2.1 62a LUST Highroller for a couple of months now and very impressed with the grip levels and wear rate. Not the best in the mud but the 2.1 cuts through pretty well, I'd imagine the 2.35 struggles though
