| Pros | These are actually a good tire and work very well on select terrain. Very fast rolling and efficient | | Cons | Limited to hard pack, rock, and paved surfaces. | | Verdict | These tires work very well on the surfaces already mentioned you can however use them as well for rooted trails as well as rocky surfaces. As a rear tire you could probably even push these well through medium terrain (not muddy but a bit soft and get away with it. As a front your limited to the harder surfaces | | Recommended for: Anyone |
| Pros | As Suvacrew posted...Great on hardpack. These are great XC to road tires but do make great jumping tires on a pump/BMX style track. | | Cons | Not for soft pack or wet trails | | Verdict | Great for XC to recreational riding. If jumping on harder pack is your thing, these tires are great. | | Recommended for: Anyone |
| Pros | Great of HARD PACK ONLY. Caem OEM on my Spark 20 | | Cons | Useless on any thing other than hard pack. Leaves you sliding in loose as there's limited bite. | | Verdict | Best used for a rec rider on a mellow trail. I rode them twice and immediately chucked them. | | Recommended for: Experienced XC riders |
