i was fond of my recips! how do you rate them so bad WL?

theyre noisy on road though. i think they are better than normal mud patterns off road but not as capable as an extreme tyre.

he wanted constructive advice

compared to the simex i had on my fender my mates rrc had recips on and he struggled alot as the tread seemed to clog up and didnt seem to clean out as easily as the simex,so thats what i based my "constructive" advice on

I've had two sets of Recips over the years and rate them very highly.
Very good off road, fantastic lateral grip on side slopes and very forgiving for such an aggressive tread pattern on road.
The only fault I really found with them is that they have quite a high rolling resistance which had a noticeable effect on fuel economy

tbh if your only doin 10 miles a day just buy em and leave on full time they aint gonna wear out that quick doin that sort of mileage
