SwissVan Posted April 23, 2014 Share HiIs it advisable to use R/Ron ss front and rear as i assume its more robust due to harder centre line compound, as opposed R/ralph combo? Been using Rons front and back for years, find they grip better then Ralphs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dee_biker Posted April 23, 2014 Share Also tried all these tyres mentioned, and settled for the last couple of thousand kays with (third pair) Spez Ground Control frontSpez Fast Track back 2500 on these babies now, and haven't had one single punture... 30% tar, rocks, mud, eveything. Fantastic tyres. Edited April 23, 2014 by dee_biker nonky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chucks is very quiet about the fitting but I know what happens behind the scenes. If you want to hear more vitriol from him mention the words Thunder Burt. rouxtjie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tunariaan Posted April 24, 2014 Share Geax SaguraDone just over 3000km on mine and tread still looks new, did have one flat at Tankwa but that was my own fault do to running to low pressures.I really love these tyres on my SS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The MTBer Posted April 24, 2014 Share that explains the swiss flag on the middle knobs. Yip, also wondered what the reason is for the knobs. Does he race with them though,best tire regards protection iv'e found but quite weighty. Methinks he chooses a much lighter tire. Well he is riding for Specialized at the moment, and they have their own tyres. Also saw that the tyres should be used for hard and dry conditions.
