How do the 2.0 and 2.25 sizes stack up in the real world? Is not a tyre I have seen in the flesh, but have an opportunity to buy them cheap and thinking about them for the drier trails here.

My 2.25's are spot on and an awesome summer tyre

Would you say they came up large, small or about 'right' for the stated size?

I have Rocket Rons in 2.25 and come up about right for the size.

I find these a perfect size for XC riding. A bit of volume to help with grip and bump absorbing but not too much so it drags

Those being the trails that are not actually underwater?

On a 719 the width is about right but they are quite low profile - probably 10mm lower than a Nic of the same size on the same rim. It's not tread block depth the carcass is shallower.

If you are getting them from On One, call to make sure what version it is that they're selling.

I'll never buy a tyre from them again, had 4 Nevegals, 2 different compounds, 2 of them looked like they'd been sat in a damp wooden shed (probably true, don't think they've invented bricks in Yorkshire have they ) and they blistered/cracked after 5 rides.

They're stupid cheap for a reason imo.

They got me last time with Shwalbes actually, had to send them, back, weighed far more than claimed!
