    Strengths:This tire came stock on my 08 stinky and over the last 6 months it has saved my neck many of times. It has saved me from getting hit by cars, crashing into trees and sliding out and faceplanting in front of a group of hot girls:P Seriously i am really impressed with these tires, they arnt heavy, have little rolling resistance, and grip like a brick S#it house
    Weaknesses:Starting to wear out, but only because the ground i ride on is dry and i skid alot, so not the tires fault

    Submitted by Matt a Cross Country Rider from Rangely, Colorado
    Date Reviewed: November 8, 2006
    Duration Product Used:1 Year
    Price Paid: $35.00
    Purchased At:Full Cycle
    Strengths:Superb grip on hard pack or loose rocks, really predictable.
    Weaknesses:Not quite as much grip in deep soft dirt.
    Bike Setup:Schwinn Homegrown hardtail
    Bottom Line:I initially bought a different Maxxis tire, but it was a lot narrower than I wanted. The bike shop didn't have any of those in the 2.35 size so suggested the Minion. I am a XC rider and was a little sceptical, but tried it anyway. I left on a trip and had to deal with what I had. Initially, the tires had no grip going up hills. No surprise there, so I flipped the tire around backwards, and have been amazed. On hard pack or loose rocks, I can climb steeper terrain than I thought possible. My legs give out before the tires slip. After about 400 miles on these tires, they are still holding up very well. I'm glad I went with this tire.
