It's a shame they don't work well anywhere else including pavement and don't balance worth shit. A friend of mine really really wanted to love these tires but finally gave up on them after 4 of the 5 he was running needed to be replaced. But hey, that's just what I've seen.
Lol, wagon wheels get traction in Utah
Yes. That's why the pioneers called it slick rock.
That is not exactly correct. The "slick" rock was in regards to the metal shod HORSES back in the day having a difficult time negotiating the terrain. But, I digress.
You mean they didn’t call it slick rock because their Patagonia’s hooked up well?
I learn something new every day
Patagonias work well torn up and recycled for playground cushioning.
Wouldn't even trust one as a tire swing. Lol
This seems like a small sample size. If we encourage more people to use these tires, we can get more accurate data. For example, maybe the average is only three bad tires out of five.
No. Unless I’m missing your sarcasm, there are a lot of failures out there. I have several friends that have also had issues, one just last week. The problem is 99% of the people out there aren’t honest with their reviews and/or experiences and prefer to promote what they are told.
You're right. But the metal rimmed wagon wheels didn't find much purchase on the rock either.
Where did the metal come from?
It was very small debris and too small to tell what it was from exactly. Just felt grainy. Our best guess is things weren’t cleaned well during during original install.
Same except I ran over the 6 in Moab. Using the stopwatch to time airing up after the trails works great so long as you don’t set it on top of the tire and forget about it.
this. milestar handed them out like flipping halloween candy to anyone that had 2 followers on IG. then people had to pay for them and realized wow, these are huge piles of shit that won't balance. don't drive all that well and wear down like bias ply.
So, free Pattys work better than Pattys you pay for?
When you can replace them for free when they get hard and slick, yup free be better.
