Yarite people,

I am getting a new Xlife frame and am thinking about getting some new street tyres and always like the look of builds with Geax tyres but i was wondering if anyone knew how well they were.
Like specifically in the rear if they hold up to skids at all well?

Cheers
Joss

no punctures, Its thin and so it wont last as long as some. But it is much lighter than most of the tires that size and gets lots of grip.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
