Does anyone have any experience with these- http://www.on-one.co.uk/i/q/TYMIMTBXCDRF/michelin-mtb-mountain-dry-2-folding ?
The second of my razors has given up the ghost, and these are cheaper than another small block. Seems like it could be fine as a fast rear tyre. I've got a bit keen on big volume fast tyres in the dry lately, and I fancy the 2.3 if it'll fit 2.1 if not. So, anyone got any idea how fit on it compares to something like a small block 2.1. Mud clearance isn't really an issue, for obvious reasons.
Cheers

running front and rear and they're fine if you don't put too much air in them, if you do, and go on loose stuff, they're suicide tyres.0

There have been other comments on these forums, the main criticism is they are very pressure sensitive, too much and they loose grip fast, too little and you risk pinch punctures, otherwise all good, I have just put a pair on mine, so comments to follow.
As they are dry only I went with 2.1's.
