  • Anyone on here got the 44mm Compass Snoqualmie Pass tires? I'm considering sizing up from their 35mm tires (which actually measure about 39mm) but want to know what they really measure as.

  • They come up at 43mm on my hunt 4season, not sure of the internal width of the rims off the top of my head.

    I waver between loving them and hating them. As tubeless they've been shit, but that could be due to the orange seal they insist you use. They might be fine with stan's. They just never seemed to seal properly.

    The grip is ok on the road, not great in the wet but comparing a large volume/low pressure tyre to G+ Corsas (that I have on my summer whip) which rail around corners and are great in the wet is apples and oranges. I've nothing to fairly compare the Sno's to in that sense so they might be decent.

    They roll superbly on dry tarmac and have survived a winter of commuting and club runs and barely look a week old.

    If there's anything else you want to know just holler.

  • Thanks for the measurement, that is useful to know. I'm surprised by your experience though. Since I switched to Orange Seal I have found it very effective - I have some nasty slashes in my tires that have been sealed without me even noticing them. My Jon Bons do sometimes lose a few PSI overnight though. Is that what you mean?

    The grip blows me away too - going down wet, winding, 15% lanes in Exmoor covered in cowshit and fallen leaves without skipping a beat. I do find that they are very sensitive to pressure though - just a few PSI stray of 46 and I really feel it.
