They certainly look worth a go at that price. The thing is you're not really going to go far wrong are you? SIP have a very good reputation and I think you can be confident they will be a decent tyre.

Lee m8 before you go and buy them ( knowing you probably too late ) find out what the diameter is eg in 3.5 x 10's Schwalbe pacemans are 135.7 and Dunlop TT92's are 137.3 also consider a 3 x 10 and 90/90 x 10

Beleive it or not grip slows you down LOL !

Must admit I'd never thought of it that way, but I can see why.

They are a very tight fit on the rims unless they've changed in the last year . Character building getting them to fit !

I found them really tight on split rims, but on tubeless they were no harder to fit than Schwalbes. Trying them myself at the minute as Schwalbes look like they've gone up in price. :cry:
