CST Patrol Tire
Best durable option for budget conscious everyday riders.
This is the ultimate 'set it and forget it' tire for riders who don't want to swap rubber based on the weather. The ramped center knobs keep you fast on hardpack, but you sacrifice a bit of pure speed for the aggressive side bite that keeps you upright in loose corners.
