I think maybe he means the sidewalls are too weak, but it depends on the air pressure you use..

if its real cheap, you could always try it, then save it for an xc bike if it goes south.

not worth it; sidewalls are too thin. save money and get one of the other tires you mentioned.

were you trying to kill yourself? Or were you into high pressure, or how i call it "not so great to ride with" pressure

I have one on the front of my bike I would have put it on the back but the side walls are a little thin.

don't waste your money by putting this on your trials bike...although I think they do have a super heavy duty one. I tried the 850 gram one or whatever. And its worthless for trials

I've got this tire...
Yes, it's to light, sides are to weak.
But if you would ride on good pressure, it would be ok.
This tire is very grip, and cheap.
If you haven't got money, buy it...

i got one for 20$ (i don't exactly know witch version it is) but all i can say is, that it has the best grip i've ever tried(the pattern is really kickass) and it's really strong, haven't had a single snakebyte altho i run it on a alexrims dm18 and a weak tube with a really low pressure
