Anyone run them? The 2.35 folding bead non tubeless. (http://cdn.mos.bikeradar.com/images/bikes-and-gear/components/tyres/Hutch-399-75.jpg)

Not a wide tire for it's rating but looks to be fast rolling, or faster than a Nevegal.

Opinions or armchair QB'ing?

How much does it weigh compared to a WTB WTFwolf? Are you running it tubeless? Does it blow you?

Have not compared it to any of the WTB tires, nobody seems to like them locally.

I might venture into ghetto tubeless on them.

They might blow me...

Sorry, I was just trying to get all the usual tire BS out of the way so people could move on to providing honest thoughts.

If they do indeed blow you Hutcinson has a winner on their hands.

So nobody has run these things?

Woo you knowz tyrez what say you on these ones?

These are available from my source and I am looking as something without the paper thin sidewall of the Nevegal and faster rolling but still has some bite for AM riding.

They kind of remind me of those old synchros tires they made a while back.....but with a little bit of a sideknob channel.


There's no way those will be faster than a nevegal (both at 60d I'm assuming). Nevys have way more surface area down that centerline whereas these have a bunch of small knobs that will get squished. If you're riding soft rubber compound nevegas then maybe.

Honestly, they look kind of 'meh'
