Has anyone tried these? I know they're soft so they might not last long, but if offroad performance/dirt road performance matters a lot this tire looks good. I had not seen the rear in a 180 before but here it is: http://www.americanmototire.com/catalog/index.php? cPath=33_61_70 |

I think Dr. Greg tried some of these. I think they were ok but lasted like 1,000 miles. |

Exactly right. Good but rear wears very quickly. Probably not worth it. |

I saw some at the importers - just another heavily cut tread really. I've got metzler and avon road tyres on at the moment. They are quite an aggressive tread for roadies and I can't tell any difference off road to Syncs or 616's. (Message edited by danger_dave on July 06, 2008) |

ok, I was afraid of that...Right now I have a worn-out D616 on the front, and a new-ish Sync on the back. Handles great till I lean it over to the edge of the worn part of the front, where there is kind of a ridge now. Then it feels a bit sketchy. The Sync works well but seems to be wearing really fast. I guess I'll put a Sync on the front so they match though, as the rear is really good except for wearing fast (has about 1500 miles on it so far). Every time I have to buy tires, I try to re-evaluate what I'm choosing. Thanks for the input! doc |
