|   I'm torn between the NBX lites and the new Kenda Karmies | dirteater

| I cant compare, but I like the Karmies... | dirtdad
Oct 19, 2003 7:49 AM | | I have not tried the Nokians, but I can give the Kendas a thumbs up. For a 2.0 they have a big casing but short knobs, so if you are looking for volume, I would say these are a good choice.
I have been riding them in the soft, loose, late summer conditions here in So Cal. The dual compound shows no sign of wear after a few rides. Plus they are reversible, so when they do show wear, I hope to just flip them and get even more mileage out of them. Rolling resistance is low, and they have hooked up great on technical ascents. Only a couple of times have they sunk into the sand notably more than some of my 2.3 tires. Rear breaking is not compromised as much as with many other small tires. The rear breaks loose predictably, not all at once. |
