After seeing this tire in person I was all sorts of skeptical. It looks just like a DOT approved tire, (If you’ve never road a DOT tire off road they don’t stop or go for that matter well in anything other than hard pack.) I was however pleasantly surprised this tire handles the loose powder and rock very well! Much like the previous gummy tires golden tyre has released. This tire is a little narrow however that lets it dig and it does spin very easily on roads or anywhere you really get on it however it is controllable. After 3 rides on single track ranging from north Idaho roots and rockslides to Washington states shale they seem to be holding up better than the previous 216, and 5 series gummy. Full disclosure I’m running this tire on a 2018 Ktm 300 with a nitro mousse of matching size. The mounting was actually very simple as well with the help of a few bead buddies and a rabaconda. I hope this review helps, cheers! ig: G_moto_18
