Good semi slick

Peder said:

I found these Maxxis High Rollers S/S 2.35 at Jenson and bought a pair for
my Rainier. The are listed as DH tires, but so far so good on the pavement
and trails. Duro is 50 so I guess they're a little soft, but with about
300 miles on them, I can still see the mold parting lines. A little heavy
at 1050g,

A *little* heavy at 1050g?! That's an extra 2lbs over a set of 2.1 Fire XC
Pros.

No kidding! I mean, *if* I were ever tempted to ride semi-slicks, they'd
sure as hell be extra LIGHT not heavy. (Especially for "pavement and
trails". Only POSSIBLE use would be hard-packed downhill courses, but
aren't those rather few and far between? {And un-fun?!?})

Well, I did a hundred last weekend and the weekend before w/o issue. Guess
I'm tough!

And they don't go whiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrr when you're riding on the
street......

And they still look good, too. Oh, that's right, nobody here cares about
looks. 🙂

money.
