I have a 02' sasquatch. I have a 2.6 stout in teh front and a 2.35 kenda kinetic tire in the rear.

I really like the stout in the front, it gives me good grip. I'm not really planning to upgrade at the moment, but if you were to upgrade your rear 2.35 kenda kinetic with a smaller pricetag, what would it be?

If you like the stout on the front…which is surprising, you'll like the stout even better on the rear…

Are you saying stouts suck :???:

I've never tried any hardcore michellin dh super grip tire, niehter have I've gone to any realy downhill course that will test your bike to its full potential use.

But I think the stout gave me just the amount of grip needed when I was at burnaby mountain the other day and I was pleased with it even though I bought it used.

Did I say they suck??? I ran one on the front and hated it…it was too washy on sandy trails…But I switched it to the rear and loved it it has just the right amount of give…and in fact when I had my new 24" Mag30 built I put a 24" stout on as well…so like I said if you like the stout on the front, which I didn't, you'll really like it on the rear…

THe kolossal sucks id say get a 2.8 michi for your front and put the stout on the rear. You will love the michi its the best thing ive bought for my bike. THe price is worth it i get mine from my lbs for 30$us though.

When it comes to tires and grip…you cant put a price on it IMO.
I say go for the Michelin but if the Stouts have been good, then go for that again.
