The Good

The MK2 is the updated version of the Micro Knobby. The biggest change is the center strip of tread (see the pic? ^^^). The knobs in the center are now inverted - this fixes the durability issue the old ones had.

The Bad

Cornering traction in loose dirt, but then again it's supposed to be a fast rolling and nearly slick tire. Outer knobs have potential to wear quickly given their small size.

Overall Review:

Light weight. Super fast rolling. Make a rad sound when cornering. Improved durability. Two thumbs up!

The Good

They are fast and grip great on pavement, concrete, dry hard dirt and wood. I run them at Rays indoor park and have no trouble.

The Bad

Only small issue is stopping. Sometimes on smooth surfaces the brake will lock up the wheel but you'll still slide along a little ways since the overall tire is so smooth.

Overall Review:

A cheap, nice fast tire for it's intended purpose.

The Good

fast rolling, lightweight

The Bad

limited purpose

Overall Review:

I was riding knobby tires on my hardtail that I use for commuting to work, riding with the kiddos,and kicking around town but decided to opt for these when I saw them on sale at Jensonusa.com. I'm glad I went for them as they increase the fun factor for my pavement rides. These roll much quicker and accelerate much faster than what I am used to in a knobby (obviously) or semi-slick so I'm a fan.

Overall these have held up well (no flats or slashes in the sidewall so far) and they have a really cool look to them as well, which has led to a number of comments about them by random strangers. I keep my knobby for the dirt days but these are great for what I use them for. The price made them a no-brainer at $17 a piece. The version I have and am reviewing is the 2.25 size, though you can get them in a slimmer 2.1 as well.

The Good

Grip crazy good, not expensive, light weight, and all around amazing.

The Bad

Nothing is bad about these.

Overall Review:

Intense did a really good job with this tire. I run this as a rear and it grips crazy well at the Skate Park and on the Dirt Jumps. It makes a really awesome sound at the skate park with the tread pattern. Buy these bad boyz. Not expensive and grip very well. Now go ride.
