Has anyone here had a chance to test these tires out yet?

They where only launched about 24 hours ago so I doubt it! I suspect a beefed up Wild Enduro

I have been using, for some months, the michelin wild enduro 27.5x2.40 gum-x, on norco sight vlt and I am very well, both in terms of hold, braking and sturdiness and I am no longer using inserts in the tires, which I used with maxxis dd tires

@R120 Has fitted these, I'm sure he will pop back to comment.

Yes I am really liking them so far, but unfortunately my bike has developed a motor fault meaning I haven't put much more than 200miles on them to date. I have the 2.6

My main observation is that they are pretty fast rolling for a big tough grippy tyre, the massive side knobs provide great grip when cornering fast, and no negatives to date.

I haven't had a chance to try them in the wet yet.

What sort of pressures have you been running in these?

 

[R120]

between 25 and 30 psi on the rear depending on conditions/riding, and usually around 24/25 on the front.

Okay, thanks! Are you still running them?

Yes, I have the 2.6's on my full suspension, and the 2.8's on my hardtail.

The pressures I gave are for the 2.6's

Tubeless no inserts
