Model/Year: 2012

Pros: 26" x 2.1, with a square'ish profile for stability
Lots of large knobblies for grip and digging
Great value

Cons: Probably not as grippy as other tires out there, but for half the price, you can't complain

Recommendation: If you aren't looking to push things to the very limit, these tires will be just the ticket. 2.1" wide and with a very flat profile makes these tires very stable and able to tear through dirt and mud. I've had good success on slippery objects as well (roots, rocks, etc.), making these tires an excellent budget purchase.

Pros: Has held up well, 3500+ miles

Cons: Heavy
No thorn protection

Recommendation: These tires came stock on my 05 Rockhopper. They corner and climb well, but they are not a light choice. I am pleased with how well they have held up, 3500+ miles now.

Pros: Good rolling great cornering

Cons: SIDE WALLS my friend had his two weeks and his side wall went boom not even with all that much air pressure mine went also today first day using them i was on a fire road and they tore in the same place. wear fast too

Recommendation: if u wanna replace them go ahead

Pros: Great all around tire. there has been improvement in the center knob. Low $$.

Cons: seem to not last s long as other tires.

Recommendation: Good tire for the money. buy a couple x-tra and keep them for when you need a good all around tire.

Pros: Its not exactly freeride but its a great all mountain tire. i use it an i am very agressive on my up and downhill and they grip great

Cons: they wear fast justt like all specialized tires

Recommendation: Buy them
