    What you're doing for IRC is what all tire manufacturers have failed at miserably...... You're explaining to perfection what the tires are designed and meant for in a very understandable application.... YOU need a raise Rich!!!🤘

    Rich, this is the best rear tire I’ve ever used in 10 years of technical enduro riding, last winter in wet slippery rocks/roots in steep terrain @4-5 lbs just incredible. Never seen missing knobs. I have 4 off-road bikes so I try lots off tires and enjoy grasping for the ultimate enduro tires, this bad-ass tire rocks 12 months a year..... 🏆

    Please help. I'm running a VE33S right now, and i love the durability and traction. However, it is really too much tire for my 22-hp, two-valve four stroke playbike. What would your recommend with similar performance in a 100 width, so the mass is more appropriate for a lower-power bike?

    Loved the tire while it lasted. Was great traction on roots/logs/rocks but at 15 hours started loosing knobs that were not even wore out that bad yet at 20hours rear tire was shot half the knobs ripped off. So if knobs did not rip off it still had another 5 hours in it. Just did not like any faster stuff and when I say faster I mean 3-4 gear stuff in dry hard packed singe track conditions. Back AT81 not as good of traction but last way longer. If those knobs would not rip off I would buy another. Was mounted 0n my 20 250xc-w

    Not impressed with this tire at all. Traction is pretty good but tire life is very short. I am running with a Tubliss system and had a slash on the side wall (from the rim) on the second ride. I have 10 hours max on this tire and almost all of the center knobs are ready to fall off and the leading edge of the knobs are really work. Don't recommend it.
