So a friend put me onto these tyres so here's my review.

I fitted these tyres myself, and for the most part it was pretty easy, the only problem came just getting the final bit of bead over the rim, certainly a tyre you need plenty of tyre soap on. The tyre was fitted with a MP T6 combo spanner and a pair of 8" MP enduro levers. The carcass on this tyre is very still.

on my test run I ran the tyre at 26psi. At first I thought something was wrong, when new the tyre has a very rounded profile compared to the previous 07. Theres a slight hum at slow sppeds but it is more nit picking.

after a few miles I soon settled into the new profile and how it behaved. I hit my usual test lanes 1 sand and one gravel. I was amazed how it performed, compared to the 07 the difference was night and day. On both surfaces the tyre was amazing. Normally I'd then follow the lanes I'd hit the roads on the way back to put some miles on them, instead I just turned round and hit the lanes for a second time.

so if you hadn't guessed so far I'm loving these tyres. I'll put some more miles on then report back.
