Strengths: Corner grip is excellent, good weightWeaknesses: Not really a 30mm tyre, more like a 35mm. Knobbles make ‘em slow on hard ground – but the clue is in the name! I intend to tyre the Jet’s. Not cheap
Bottom Line: Ridden these in this seasons cross races and found them excellent. Really given me great confidence in greasy corners. Good weight too. Shame they are wider than the spec

Strengths: Tread and Sticky, easy to findWeaknesses: Not to strong and they aren't cheapBottom Line: Bought these tires because of the hype of being the best cyclocross tire. The side wall blew out in a few rides less than 40 miles. My front tire still looks good

Strengths: Mud, Snow, lightness/traction ratioWeaknesses: Very slow on hardpack/pavementBottom Line: Your clue as to what these tires are for is in the title. I used the Mud II tire on the rear and a Specialized TriCross on the front. I have raced the bike once and trained on it once with this tire set up. This tire is pretty light for the amount of traction. It drives well through mud, and it corners well in mud, too. The race I did was on lots of powder/hard packed snow and it was very good there too. As expected, this is a tire for the extreme conditions, and not to be used for ordinary dirt/grass/minor gravel courses because it is wider than the claimed 30c, more like 35; and it is very knobby, and that produces rolling resistance. I am very satisfied with this tire, and I can't imagine anything would work much better, except maybe a tubular or tubular/clincer, because you could run lower pressure without worrying about a pinch flat.

Strengths: Good traction, green looks cool on my red surlyWeaknesses: There width in sandy areasBottom Line: I have used these tires since last august. For cyclocross racing I would only use these tires if it was real muddy since the little knobs have to much rolling resistance on flat hard coarses. However, I use my cyclocross bike for trail riding as well, and these tires work great. They have lots of traction front and rear, and hook up well in a variety of conditions. Sand is a problem, but thats because there thin at only 30c, and 38c ritchey is better for sandy trails. Either way hard to go wrong with this tire for trail riding or muddy cross races.
Favorite Ride: Any ride
