Geax Saguaro Tire

I bought this tire a few weeks ago to replace the rear tire I had worn out and have been really happy with it. I'm riding in the NW where it's been really dry so the trails are fast and loose. This tire has hooked up where I need it climbing and cornering and lets me rip the single track with out added weight. I've used a lot of tires and if you are looking for a fast 2.1 with good traction this one is it. When it gets wet I'll edit this review to add those comments.

This year I rode two sections of the Great Divide Mtn. Bike route with these tires. Up in Canada, the sidewall blew out in less than 200 miles and I received a new one after returning it to BTD thanks. In New Mexico, the tires handled the soft conditions well, but I had 4 flats. Maybe the rubber is too sticky soft and it picked up prickers...who knows? My riding companion is 120 lbs. heavier and was using Specialized tires...no flats. I would not recommend these tires for touring. Maybe ok for packed single track, but given the price, there are much better tires out there to choose from. I don't plan to purchase them again.
