Do onza porcs make a good mud tyre?

[elma]

As in the title.

I cant remember if they clear mud well.

They look like they should and before i take my contis off i thought i'd ask some opinions.

Porcs look pretty but were dismal IIRC!

 

[Enid_Puceflange]

Yeah,
As far as i can remember the porcs were really just for show and no good for go. if i was going for a serious stonch with the lads i would pop my smokes on, would pop the porcs back on for general tooling about and playing.

LOL

Porcs, hmmmm......ask Neilll, he's got a set on his bike....but he keeps crashing, not much of a recomendation :?

 

[heathy]

I used them in the peaks and thought they were o.k, cleared mud o.k too

 

[cannondale king]

i liked the new re-issue ones but they no where as good as onza rip and rail or panaracers smoke and dart stck with what ya know and you cant go wrong

 

[neilll]

They clear mud well, cos of their open pattern. They aren't great on fast corners as they are quite square and you literally fall off the edge of them or they slip. I do like them though, good for all sorts of surfaces.

I rode WildGrippers for years before these and Smoke Lite before that (Smoke Lites have the same 'square' issue though...)

Yeah I do keep crashing but so far that's not down to tyre choice

£14 for a pair on eBay...try them out....

 

[konahed]

£14 plus £7 postage = £21 a pair on ebay.

They're ok but no good on tarmac, they feel squidgy and wear really fast.

That's why they have 'For Offroad use only' stamped on the side of them
