Surly Larry Reviews
Mountain Biking > Mountain Bike Gear > Tires
Description
Larry is the next big thing, well at least if you're talking about tires larger than three and a half inches wide. The Endomorph's tread was specifically designed for soft conditions such as packed snow and sand. Larry's tread is a bit different. The low chevron ribs are still there, but they connect longer, dagger shaped knobs. The knobs are all the same height, so as they wrap around the casing the result is a more rounded profile compared to the Endomorph. All this results in greater steering control in loose and soft conditions and on firmer ground, without the self-steer of the Endomorph. Larry is a great front tire to Endomorph's rear, and a good all around tire for your Pugsley

Cons: Price for the heavier tire, it runs about 120 dollars for the heavy weight tire.
Recommendation: This is the yin to the Endomorph's yang. It works especially well as a front tire, gripping the dirt like a tank tread and keeping you stable without squirming in the turns on the singletrack.
