Vittoria Mezcal 29 x 2.35

[tc]

I just put some 2.35 Mezcals on my 59 Clem and am really impressed!  This is an XC tire with a center tread pattern that is amazingly smooth and quiet on pavement...so I'm hoping it will be a good fit for my 1/3 gravel, 1/3 pavement/bike path, and 1/3 easy singletrack riding.

IMHO, it's also a great-looking tire, with a dark graphite sidewall that really looks smart with the Grilver-colored Clem.

After I take it off-road I'll post more impressions.

There are several reviews of this tire on the web.  Here's a good one by Clint Gibbs on YouTube.

Very interesting - and it also comes in a 67mm wide version which might work for a 27.5+ project I've got in the works. Thanks for linking to it!

I should also mention:

• I bought the "TNT G+" version, not the "Rigid" version.  TNT uses their latest/better compounds.  More on the differences at the Bicycle Rolling Resistance site's review, here.
  
  
• On my Alex DM24 rims with tubes and 40 PSI, they're measuring 57mm (2.24").
