24x3" Halo Identi Contra Tyre

Strengths

This is one thick piece of rubber. Very though, very grippy in the mud you find all over the UK. The thick sidewalls mean you can ride it at a much lower PSI rating so rolling over stones, tree roots and logs is easy as falling off a log.

Weaknesses

This is a 3" wide tyre... or so it says on the sidewall. Try nearer 2.65". It also has a very rounded profile which some riders prefer but not this one.

Overall

A fine downhill tyre but probably not the best - I think the crown goes to the Gazz for MUni. However, as a 24x3" tyre it does fit in the 28" Nimbus frame (a Gazz does not as it's too wide) so it's a great option for those on a budget i.e. those still saving for a Wilder or Kris Holm sig. frame.

As far as I am aware you cant get these in the US but try looking for a Duro Wildlife Leopard as it's exactly the same tyre.
