Bridger

These tires are awesome! They grip so well and hold up to everything!

Tires handled fine but when I had a sidewall punchture and needed to remove the tire it would not come off. Had to cut off the tire and pull the wire out to release the remaining rubber.
Happened with both my tires

I've been riding the Fast Rolling Light Bridger's for just over a year now on a Salsa Fargo and have close to 1000 miles on them. They do well commuting on pavement as well sticking to the technical rocky single track found here in Arizona. I have had no issues with sidewall damage despite grinding them frequently on granite oroppings. Tread life is fantastic, and despite the miles on them, they still have significant knob height remaining. I am having some sealant leaking through the sidewalls as of the past couple months, but I suppose that will happen with most tires over time.

I liked the traction and feel but the tire split on the side-wall. I then tried the wtb Ranger and that has not held up either. Sidewalls seem thin. Overall I would have to say that the tire is not durable.

Unfortunately when I installed the tire onto my bike I realized that the thread was uneven. I replaced the tube twice to make sure I hadn't installed the tube incorrectly inside the tire. It's just a poorly manufactured tire. The tread is uneven enough that there is a constant wobble to the tire as it rotates. Luckily even with the wobble I was able to get through a 100 km the following day upon installing the tire as it was the only tire I had available. I think the tread on the tire is great, nice grip on rock and uneven terrain, and didn't feel too sluggish on gravel road. I would recommend this tire but will be asking for a free replacement. In this case it was just a lack of quality manufacturing
