Maxxis Hookworm Tyres

I just ordered a pair of these after seeing pictures of them.
They remind me of the Pirelli dragons I used to use on my Kawasaki
Have read reviews on mtbr, does anyone here have any first hand experience of them?
Cheers

Just put some on my treklein I am building up. They look to dogs danglies and roll pretty well on hardstuff.

Not tried them on dirt but I cannt imagine they will be to clever on anything sloppy.

I have to say they weigh an absolute ton so I will probably put mine on a single speed Duster I am going to build for local duties ie pub, shops etc

Yeah, I never expected them to be any good in the mud,
Im kinda hoping fitting them will encourage me to get out on the bike a bit more (because of the lesser resistance )
Suprisingly, they weighless than the Specialized Chunders I have fitted just now :shock:

Where did you get yours from bud & how much were they?
Cheers
