I have just fitted this tyre to my bike and spent 5hrs. At the Semmering downhill / freeride centre in Austria. Nothing to report no punchers, no grip problems, no surprise just fitted it (2,3 Bar) and forgot I was riding a new tyre. The conditions on the day were mixed, from wet rooted wood passages to fast 4x style hi speed berms and dry North shore passages, just fit it and forget about it and get on with riding the hill.
