what tire model and casing? I have three Kryptotal FR enduro super soft that were made in Germany week 13 2025. all three have imperfect alignment between the left & right halves of the casing. I complained, got a warranty replacement that was just as misaligned, and was sent a second warranty replacement that's a little better but not perfect...

Same here. Been riding it over the past 2-3 months as a rear, no signs of excessive wear.

I have almost 200 miles in Colorado on Trail soft and Romy holds up fine to me so far.

so that may dispel one belief, that the Romy mid wears unusually fast. if I'm reading old messages right the first Romy you tried was a mid and you wore it fast. now your Romy soft is wearing even faster.

I experienced the same, sadly. I've been on the new Eddy Current radial for a few rides and while it doesn't have the same grip level of the TC, it still looks brand new.

v2 Dissector rolls way faster than DHR2.

I haven't run the tire but I see it's only available (in the US at least) in Magi-X. That is a pretty slow rolling compound, like 3CG. The previous gen of it, I'm pretty sure, was offered in gum-x.

IME dissector v1 definitely rolled faster than the aggressor, but I haven't tried a dissector v2. I would expect with the taller knobs it's slower than v1, but surely still faster than the dhr2. (Is there a point for the dissector v2 to exist if it doesn't roll faster than dhr2?)

I was thinking the same and ended up with a dd dissector g2 maxxterra. My ability to pick the smooth line depletes over time lol

that's not really any serious wear IMHO. however santa cruz does sell a lower link if you were concerned or didn't like looking at the damage. that romy 2.4 seems like it has a reasonable amount of clearance, for dry at least.

Damn I consider the Assegai as ann all-lean angles mega gripper, have you ridden a DHF?

TC radial front, Romy rear on my trail bike. Really really liking the combo. Good rolling speed relative to the dual diagonal TCs I had on there previously, doesn’t feel like it gives up much cornering grip at all (guessing it’s the radial grip making up for the tread pattern change on the rear,) and I’ll be damned if it doesn’t mute the buzz nicely and suction cup up techy climbs. I’m sold on the combo for anything less than full on DH, that said it’s been quite ideal conditions in the PNW lately so I don’t have any options...

They are quite tall. On my RXF38m.2, clearance at the arch is pretty limited, especially when running a mudguard. The RRP Proguard didn't have enough clearance to run it safely, so I have found the Mudhugger is the best for clearance on that fork. On my '26 Marzocchi Z1 there is ample clearance though.

you're going to need a lot more clearance if you ever find any mud on your trails, not just clearing the link by 1mm. I had a Bronson v2 with poor rear tire height clearance but it rubbed on the chainstay bridge. result was the same: better never find mud, or you're walking. I'd use a much shorter tire.

I've ridden there literally twice. Mom has lived there since the 80s but I typically don't ride on visits. maybe this winter some real rides, I've talked about it with my BIL. I've got plenty of dry SW rocky experience in NM and CO though, varying degrees of similarity. So much of tires is preference. You have yours and that's...

The endurance rubber is honestly barely usable because of the trail casing. I tried running a kypto-r trail/endurance on the back of a light weight trail bike and I honestly really liked the rolling speed/weight/grip trade off in a non-pinned enduro riding context. That being said, you could blast finger sized holes in that casing just by looking at it. I killed both tires before the tread was even really broken in. You're right @AndehM because it's not as if the soft rubber compound rolls much, if any slower then the endurance rubber. The delta in rolling speed had more...
