UST MTB Tires

24 Jul

This page is where I track UST tires. I don’t have every UST tire on here most likely, you can email me missing ones at chris at headangle dot com. Note, I don’t even bother with tires that aren’t over 2.0 in size, as I generally won’t ride anything smaller than a 2.2 (usually I want a 2.3 or 2.4).

I keep a del.icio.us tag set for bike tires
