Has anyone tried the new Vee or Specialized radial tyres?

What’s your opinion?

Thanks

Put the Specialized radials on my Turbo Levo 4 a couple weeks ago. Was running Specialized Butchers front and rear, and replaced with radial Butcher on the front and radial Eliminator rear. So far like them a lot and were a noticeable improvement. Running the same tire pressure too. 18 psi front and 20 psi rear. Primarily riding the Seattle area right now. Good price point on these and will see how durable they are.
Supposedly coming out with a lighter trail casing soon. If so I’ll put these on my Stumpjumper.
 
Thanks for the information. How do you find the roll/range with the Eliminators on the back?
 
I was reading user reviews on mtbr Forum and some users have gone back to using bias type tyres on the back for better roll. These are, I think, analogue bikes? Might not be a problem with ebikes unless the range is drastically reduced?

Was running a 2.6 Butcher on the rear so I think the Eliminator will be an improvement. I do up the pressure a bit when I'm riding more high speed gnarly stuff. Seems a softer tire compound so will see how they wear.
