Why didn't you ask me! I've had plenty of these - and some of the PMWers have used 'em too.
I quite like them. Decent all rounder, not too heavy, reasonable width (although never been a 2.2" IMO) and pretty good weight.
However, I know Chris F isn't impressed with them and I think Julie wasn't too chuffed with them either, so I may be in a minority. I'm a notoriously fickle git with tyres though so if I can get on with them then I'd expect most other people to.
I got a pair of 2.1 wire bead acx's for £15. It would be rude not to try them. They must be a basic compound(Read hard) because they are slightly skittish over rocks (I like a soft compound for that). They do however do all of the other stuff very well. No problems at all for general riding duties.
with monkey over there i use the 29er version and they rock i got about 4 months outa my first set during last spring/summer .... but the second set have lasted about 8 months ...
I didnt want to bore the PMW'ers with more kit dilemma's! I'm fickle as hell with my tyres aswell thats why I ask! Ive got over 15prs at home and in amongst them I mostly have Panaracer Fire XC Pro's! I love em but after following Derek they dont roll too good!
