Anybody runnin' 'em yet? Mine should arrive today or tomorrow! What some opinions on these. All I've heard is that they wear out fast.(on a BMX bike, that is.) I'll be using the 26x2.4 versions. :dancing:

I've been running them for awhile now and I love them. They are tons lighter than hookworms, but not near as durable (pinch resistence) nor as grippy on concrete. However I love them because they roll fast and I can ride street, park, and the jumps without changing my tires. Off road beware though, they don't grip as good as you might think. Hookworms you know will be sketchy off road but Holy rollers give enough grip to fool you sometimes. I two wheel drifted more than I care to and already once they put me face first on the deck. But thats because I'm pushing them harder than I should off-road. But all in all an excellent tire.

Not great for dirt but A-W-E-S-O-M-E for UBRAN and such.

I had them for about a month but I switched back to my k-rad's because the maxxis seemed to be a little more sketchy all around

ive seen you at TRU on a hardtail with straight up slicks thought too.... :p
i think like everyone here is saying, they are a better all around tire than hookworms, but they arent an off road tire so to speak... nice to not have to change on the dirt jump, street, bmx track bike though

They came with the chase I bought off Castle and I love them. I'm using 45psi on both and I've had no problems. Definitely keep them on the dry pavement.

they work great for me i like them better then the hookworms, I run a holy roller in the back and a knobby in the front and have no problem with traction when riding trails.

iv been on them for almost 6 months now and love em, they hook up great in the park, street and smooth dirt. lately i have been jumpiing my small bike with the hr's on it at our local big bike jumps and once you get used to how they handle its not that bad. at first i had a hookworm on the back and was doing 2 wheel drifts around corners it was nasty

Yeah, but Austin dirt is very predictable and rides (and unfortunately wrecks) like 10 grit sand paper. :cool:
