I’m stoked to get on these! I love grippy tires, but I’m always fantasizing about faster rolling tires. These sound like they might be in the perfect middle spot.

I’d love to see more splatter colors for ultimate matchey matchey.

I don't get the complaining about the $65 price tag. A Minion DHR/F EXO with their Maxterra compound is normally around $90. Sure, you can find them on sale for a little less. Definitely like the initial review of these and I'll probably pick up a pair to try them out.
HOWEVER, come on...more

With practice and the correct tools (large round trash barrel and good tire lever(s)) mounting up a CushCore is actually not bad at all.

The wear patterns are the same as any non splatter. The color fades a little with use and is not as crisp when it is dirty, obviously. But with a wash the color looks new again.

The initial look is similar, for sure, but there are differences. It rolls faster, for one. The cornering knobs have the innovative siping too. There are many other subtle differences too: Knob surface area, shape and position etc.

Oh man, I'm getting old now so recalling all of this is a bit sketchy. I'm sure there are more that I can't recall at the moment... Here goes: 1985 Schwinn BMX bike, blue 1991 Trek 800 antelope 1995 Balance (from the catalog at the back of MB Action!) ... more »

Uh, bringing in the non-argument of lift access is the real dumb issue here. Namely, lift access parks are either on private land, or private permitted land. They can allow whatever the hell they want on their terrain, including full blown 450 MX bikes if they...more

Looks good for the price! I hope they have early success and are able to release more casing/compound combinations, as right now neither of these tires appeal to me solely off not having the right combos. Soft, sticky fast wearing rear and hard, less grippy front? No thanks.
