I have been running these tyres for about 2 months now and so far there is nothing bad i have had with them. The ones i have are 20x2.2" so are very fat for a BMX. This is a good thing however when you are riding trails because it helps soften the landing a little. They have a nice looking tread pattern but the best part is they are so dam grippy! I mean on my old duro jump tyers i could pedal reasonably hard on gravel and spin the rear tyre. With these on the same gravel i have to spin like 5 times as hard to get far less spin. This shows how well they grip in very loose conditions so they work 10x better on dirt. They also grip surprisingly well on concrete also.

These tyres do not want to die! They have been ridden full on on dirt, concrete, wood, you name it and they still have the small surface bumps all over them 90% new. They also are quite puncture resistant. Before i was fixing glass punctures day in day out, now i have never had one puncture with the Dirt monsters.

I give them a 9.7/10. Loosing 0.3 point to being slightly but hardly more expensive than some other tyres and they dont have ladies on them haha. Great tyre reccommend to any dirt rider.

I agree those tyres rule, they are also some of the lightest tyres you can get. They last forever, a friend had one last about 2 years!

Update. I havnt been around for a while so wouldve said this sooner. These tyres are really great at first but if the sidewalls get rubbed on concrete or anything too much they get worn very thin, and that causes them to blow out. Great for dirt, but get damaged too easliy for street or park.

I agree, great tyre - I rode one on the front for over a year, in fact I've still got it and it's still in good shape...great for dirt (obviously) but it was also good at the skatepark, Not so good on concrete in my experience.
