went off-road quite a bit today, even some climbing. was really surprised how well the Friday did. Definitely want a tire that accommodates that.
Hi,
I've a Road Cruiser on the front and a near slick on the back.
Off road I'd use it on the rear and something else on the front.
(Though it is combined with the near slick rear to give more
front grip in adverse conditions, and both cope with mild off
road hard packed conditions very well, but the rear won't
take slippy soft conditions, the front isn't a lot better.)
rgds, sreten.
Nice tyre for the very budget price I got it for.
Kevlar puncture protection and reflective sidewalls.
Rolls well pumped up to optimum on Tarmac.
Grip is good. Mileage I'm not likely to find out
with one on the front. On the front loads.
