durability and grip

. had that mature in 26 x 2.25 "bought a few years ago riding a hardtail: Simplon myth of 2001 (I know, almost already an oldtimer, but still useful!) tire pressure 3 bar always in the field and 3.5 bar. for asphalt tours long.

where these tires can vastly points: on gravel / pebbles, especially if it is very loose and, moreover steep. uphill and downhill one has very great grip, so good traction and great stopping power. is also the driving comfort due to the large volume of air very good indeed. also covered the low rolling resistance and lateral grip on mainly on difficult terrain - is a peculiar thing that deep-treaded tires to run just as easily as smoother. furthermore very laudable: puncture resistance and wear, really excellent! Also Very attractive price.

Weaknesses: naturally higher rolling resistance on the road, even at high air pressure. He also grumbles really loud, you have rarely ring !!! In addition, the not quite as outstanding grip on wet asphalt and wet stones. This is presumably why negative because the grip otherwise is so great, so a question of the relation. but already still in tolerable range. not without: the rather spongy road: ABSOLUTE caution in rapid (> 30 km / h) runs on asphalt !!! at higher air pressure, it is a little better.

In summary: a very good value for money; the strengthening of this tire are in difficult terrain.

However, I must add that I have already made a 120 km tour on flat asphalt. Admittedly, I have no comparative figures. With a slick one has certainly easier. Still, I found it not too bad, have a reasonable time moved out and 120 km one must surely be somewhat tired, or ???
