the people that are saying they suck? did you actually try them? The places I ride at is extremely rocky and bumpy, I can see the 3.0 coming in handy bc you can run them at super low air pressure. I think the arrow srs is designed to run at 15-30 psi. If this took some of the sting out of small bumps I could see these being useful. Im ordering a pair, ill report after I give them a run.

I got a pair of Nokian Gazzolodi's. They had to be shaved a bit to fit my frame. I love them, I thought they would be overkill and sloppy but looked fun to try. I first tryed them in Plattykil Pa.

These tires are a different animal. First, you dont feel the weight much in fact it creates a gyro effect keeping your bike more stable in the air. I liked that since my bike tended to go left in the rear with other tires.

Secondly, they run at only 30 psi and the rubber is mad thick. It absorbs a lot of small bumps you would usually feel on the trails. Secondly it picks your bike up an inch, even if this tire flexed i cant see you getting a dinged rim or pinch flat the rubber is just too thick.

I ran them on azonic outlaw rims, which i think are really wide to begin with. I dont see this tire as sloppy at all.

Massive contact pad, massive traction.....

you can get duro leopard 24x3.0 tires under the brand identiti (model contra) on chainreactioncycles or unicycle.com
you can also get a Duro leopard 26x3.0 on unicycle.com.
Arrow also makes them but they might be more expensive.
