I race Maxxis Courchevals..they ride/corner really well and from trial and error seem to last quite a bit longer than most of the other high end tires. If anyone wants a less expensive tire, try the Maxxis Detonator they also ride really well . On the other side of the coin, I haven't had good luck with Bontrager tires... a customer who has a new bike (about 500 miles on it) actually has worn out the Bontrager Race LIte already! He's not a big man probably about 170-175 lbs, but the tire was destroyed. Unfortunately, I have had way too many customers with this same problem.

Many happy miles!
