The old sand tire debate-- about fronts
i have the GBC sharkfins and they seem to work very well! they were like $20 bucks a tire, they are very light, i have no complaints, and they look better than the mohawks for 4x the price.... I WISH I HAD 22"ers i have 21's and they dont float as well as the taller tires.

ok where was all this when i bought oh two sets of mohawks?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] well they do throw a little sand on you when the sand is wet. i do think they are a little small for the ds, but they are a lot better than stock tires. plus you can run fenders with them. i just got a set of 23" smooth buffs so i'll let you know how those work on monday.

I found this out while riding it for the first time at night (didi't see they were hitting)
Good thing it was a short ride or I would have ended up with two flat tires out in the dunes at Glamis!

Ummm, I have bought tons of tires from Rocky mountian, and had no problems. Besides, Rocky mountain sells what ever tires the company gives them. They don't go into a big warehouse, and pick out all the bad tires to sell. Just bad luck, I guess. RM has the best prices around, I think.

I was all but decided on getting the GBC's and then AZSAND put up his post...
Do the smooth buffs grab hard enough in the corners to carve a tight turn? I'm going to be riding in some relatively small dune areas, and according to what I've read on here the Extremes will already make turning a little tougher.
How about puncture resistance of the different makes of tires? There is some sage brush in the dunes back home, so maybe a little thicker rubber wouldn't be such bad thing?
I still think I'll get the GBC's because of the favorable reports on here and they still have a price advantage, but I want to make sure to explore as many options as possible.
