Anyone used these tyres? If so could you tell us how you found them?

Ignitor looks like a good all round tyre?

Slant 6 looks fast?

Slant 6 has no grip on sand and wears down quickly

im using a slant 6 2.1 for a rear tyre with nevegal 2.3 up front, all round riding.
the slant 6 rolls nice and i havent had an issue with grip where i ride. i have only done about 100kms on the slant but no major wear so far.

friend is running front and back and havent heard him complain yet

but then again i probably look for a slight drift in the rear when im cycling. making sure the front has traction

Had Ignitors in the past and really liked them for an all-round tyre. Decent grip and decent wear rate.

I rode Slant 6 front and rear on the wines2 whales last year. Had no grip issues at all in loose sand, technical singletrack or jeeptrack. Rolls well too. Haven't ridden them long enough to comment on wear though. I liked them :thumbup:

Are you using the Slant6 26x2.10 or 26x2.35? I am used to Maxxis Ardent 26x2.25 and also keen to try the Slant6 out. I prefer a high volume tyre, therefore the 2.35 width. Anyone else using the 2.35 width?
