Anyone tried them & recommend them? I'm looking for a large volume winter tyre which isn't excessively heavy but will take some abuse & give me some grip in the mud & on wet roots.

yer iv just put a set on for winter.
there ok on wet grass / mud but not ridden wet roots yet they roll well on road. if you want a sticky front get black chilli i got the normal one's.
you need to be ridding fast to shift the mud from them but i like em.
there only £16 from halfords.

They're less at RRP.

Not sure if I should get the folding ones for £50 (pair) or black chilli for £90 (pair).
Will black chilli be that much better?

some DH riders use the chilli one's so i would say yes. But never tryed them as i don't ride that hard.
the one's i got are £16.99 each http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stor ... yId_242553

go for the black chilli ones they have got really good grip on loose rocky climbs but slippy roots to.

Are they really good enough to be worth £90 for the pair?

madmax245

if you ride loose rocky trails, wet rooty slippy or just wet and slippy yes they are worth it.
