I just ran one of these with a plushie mousse for 5 days in the Hatfield-McCoy trail system single track, about 150 miles on it and not much wear. It grips really great, always felt really planted. Ran a 140 rear Knarly with a plushie mousse and it hooked up great. I'll be buying more of both.
Lemme know how you like it. The review is really good. I tried the M59 and it appears this kenda version addresses the Bridgestone short comings as a trail tire.
How does this tire compare to the Shinko 546? I live in So Cal where rain is an unusual event. I'm going to convert to tublliss on my next tire and I would apricate your recommendations.
There is no better front tire than the Shinko 546 for desert offroad riding. I prefer using a mousse and never getting flats or fooling around with the 2 valve stems of the tubeliss.
Anyone have any time on the 130/80 18 gauntlet? The irc33s has been amazing here in Ohio. Only ran up against a short coming at the flint ridge dualsport in dry , fast conditions . Gets a bit loose when trying to corner hard or grass track off cambers. Was running 10 psi , tubliss 2. Still for a "semi gummy" wearing extremely well with great traction where you need it most to save your bacon at times.
Thank you Jeff for your such informative evaluations and critique on products. Really appreciate it.

This should have been a 5 minute video.
