All made by Duro, yes, but the same tire, no. Different tires completely; compound, tread pattern etc.

However I'd still probably go for that Duro. So damn cheap!

Can't beat the Stout for price. Maxxis makes the Highroller in a 2.7" It handles well in dry conditions like Whistler. It measures out to be around the same size as a Gazzi 2.6"

I find that Maxxis has good grip and a really fast tire on dry conditions, but doesn't seem to have enough grip when it's wet.

"If you're one of those riders who can come up with a list of tricks to learn and then tick them off like a checklist, good for you. But this one goes out to all of us sketchy, "hang-on" riders who get it done one step at a time. We may not be the ones getting the sponsors and video parts, but we sure are having fun"

3.0 Duro or 3.0 Arrow……They're not wierd and boxed out like nokians so they don't wash out. Oh and they both have really good knob patterns

My Comp32 2.8" Michelin is not good on loose, dry conditions. Any sandy rockface, or loose sand/gravel, and it brakes loose quite easily. The Comp24 2.5" is much better.

I'll definitely be changing my setup to run the 2.8" in winter, and something else in the summer.
