I, like so many others who choose this tire, was restoring an 90s MTB as a townie build and wanted something that looked good and wasn't going to break the bank. I was pleased with the price, the easy of mounting, and the rolling speed. These aren't amazing at anything, but they're solid at everything. They roll faster than my Maxxis DTH, but I will call out that I got a flat on my first ride due to a goathead, which some tires do a better job fending off.

I put these tires on a 90's 26" MTB that was converted to a commuter, and they're FUN! Low rolling resistance, enough traction on gravel roads, and they're pretty light for a wirebead tire. If you're looking for budget tanwalls for an update on your 26" bike, you can't beat these for the price.

Quick tire!

This tire is a great all-rounder. It's solid on hard packed dirt and gravel, looks great, and I don't feel bad taking it on pavement. It rolls well in most places.

There's a reason that these Billy Bonkers are hard to find...the are just a great option for dirt or street! Unique tread pattern provides plenty of grip without being too much. Also privides a signature sound.

Love them!

Purchased these for some 90" mountain bikes I was getting back on the road for some friends. When testing them they were fast rolling and surprisingly supple. A great tire for the buck.
