Kaisers are made for wet so they are out
bigquotesOn course, it readily navigates the rocky, muddy, slopes of World Cup DH courses.

Umm, bootleg is pumice. Its not quite what we have here.

The list of tire combos Id run here definitely dont include the excavator. This year Im running a few different mixes.

Schwalbe Big betty, Muddy mary on the DH bike

Schwalbe Fat Albert Front and rear on the trail bike

The Big Betty and Muddy mary combo in their gooey gluey compound is a KILLER tire out here. Sticks to everything and is still LIGHT and has a durable sidewall. Look into them. 2 shops around here have them, Redstone Cyclery and Bitterbrush Cycles, both are in Lyons.

I wouldnt steer you away from that Kenda unless I knew thay it wouldnt work close to as well as those. Ive run Super tacky Minions for years, and those tires got me away from them for our terrain here.
i should clarify i ment it was like bootleg because we have lots of rock and off camber
