We Bought The Cheapest MTB Tyres From Amazon | Cheap Vs Expensive

The baldy tires are not mean for heavy trail use endure that sort of thing thay are more for light trail and road riding the mazza are heavy tail specific

do you have any puncture resistant tyre videos?

What was the difference in prices?

Those tyres aint that bad, talk about over egging it, your going slow over dry terrain. Those chaap tyres would be fine . Its only when pushing on your going to notice a big difference or maybe not. We see videos from this chanel of xc tyres on enduro bikes and being pretty good

Hard to tell too as you can never take the exact same line

was having trouble making eye contact

I barely trust expensive tires in loose terrain. Certainly not rolling the dice on Amazon cheapies.

Crap review very biase

Tyre snob. Obviously the cheap tires are not meant for your type of riding.
ridiculous waste of time video.

I still can't understand why you don't ever include a 'good value' option there as well. It's always absolute amazon garbage or an $80 tire, nothing in between. "we test budget vs premium brakes", and you put some hope tech 4 v4's against some random zoom 2 piston e-scooter brakes. Why don't you put a Deore in there?

I genuinely can't get it. At least put some of that as a commentary at the end of the video, like, "hey, if you're on a budget you could get a wire maxxis minions and they'll be decent for this and like $30 each", but no, I guess you all won't do that.

I think I would be ok with cheap tires on my cruiser bicycle being I don't do anything to crazy with my bike plus I don't think my cruiser bicycle might not be able to handle mountain biking it is a low cost bike from Walmart or target

Most good tyres are a bit expensive, you can go as low as 40 dollars or euros, sometimes less for DH tires with super sticky rubber, which you would wear out after a few rides, so generally it´s not worth buying cheap tyres, either you get horrible carcasses and rubber, inconsistent tread pattern, or faulty products, it´s best to spend between 40 and 80 dollars/euros and get something nice, any brand will do honestly, these days technology has improved so much, personally i have tried many brands, with Continental and WTB being my favs, Maxxis, Schwalbe, Michelin are also top notch as long as you only use the DHF on the rear (washes out on the front) and I run tubes with tough casings and tyre inserts, never gotten a puncture, even without inserts, that is just personal preference. I learned that rubber only really makes a difference when it comes to wet roots and rock slides, so I would prioritize tread pattern and sidewall stability over that, hence why I like WTB vigilantes so much, they last longer than Maxxis and offer similar grip at a reasonable price. I ride Enduro/ downhill trails with loose conditions all year round and rocky and muddy are there too. Hope this helps

Vee Rubber tires are extremely cheap and surprisingly good, I have a set of attack gravity core and they are sticking at every temperature wet of dry. Better than most big brands I've tried in my local conditions...

Now that is crazy odd. I have gotten 26 inch fincchi mtb tires. Same models as those, even same exact treat pattern. They feel squidgy and kind of like super thick balloons. They feel really nice to ride on. But I ride mix of asphalt and light trails. I am soo worried about punctures with them. -.-
Really in depth in this video.

It sounds from the comparison that you had more fun on the descent on the cheaper tyres

Sad you did not tried to tubeless them, just to see,cuz thy tpi was high enough

These Amazon tyres are probably just as bad as Vittoria's cheap wire bead offerings

so just boy cheap it works

Yeah cheap tires suck when you get the chance to ride some nice ones! Great video!

Cheng shin tire makes many rebranded tires and tubes including specialized/maxxis/cst
That said I love my 20$ cst cambers

As always, gmbn does a poor job when it comes to comparing their sponsors with the competition. Yes, 17$ tire may be bad, but maybe if you added 5$ extra, or 10$ extra you'd get a tubeless compatible tire that is at least the same size. You guys come off as shills.

Don't see why the point of this video is cheapest no names vs sponsored hi end. There is a quantity of models and brands that sit in the middle and will satisfy. 90%+ of people without spending motorcycle tyre price for a mtb tyre

I just bought Specialized Ground Control on sale from my LBS and they were $35 CDN, regular $95 CDN. I love the grip of them

Or a matching pair of Nobby Nics in TLR for £61 total delivered prompt by Merlin... yeah, I'll save £21 buying some heavy, non tubeless, naff Johnny Cheapos off of Scamazon....

Why you smelling em?

Did you add the tube weight?

Where is Blake and doddy? I think this comparison could have been a lot more stark if the side knobs were ever used in the trail comparison. The rider did not corner the bike hard and went offline lots on a mellow trail. I have watched gmbn for years and love the high quality content and I think the riding needs to match the enduro nature of the tire. Still a good video but would love to see it re done with Blake or doddy who are way more aggressive and pushing the limit of the tire.

Wait. People actually buy tires more expensive than $25?

I run Schwabe Big Betty on the rear and Magic Mary on the front. I used to run Maxxis and one day I decided to change. Quite happy with my Schwalbe and probably not go back to Maxxis for a while. Mid-price tyres like £30-£50 aren't too bad. But yeah a decent name brand is always a good choice.

There is no sense in comparing good trail tires to the cheapest thing on Amazon. Maybe a comparison between vittoria/maxxis/specialized/wtb/bontrager? That would be far more helpful

I think it would have more sense to go for a budget tubeless option for a bike retailer so people can get a better idea of whats available from High Street bike shops.

# where’s Doddy. Love Anna but missing your partner in crime.

These tires are for XC at most. I don't know why you try to use them for enduro. Maybe to be more obvious how trashy they are compared to the sponsored Vittoria Mazza that you "love" so much?

Continental Kryptotals on my trail bike.

60-70£ in the UK? wtf Decent MTB tires (maxxis, continental, Schwalbe, etc.) cost approx. 20-45 EUR in Germany

A much more useful comparison would be to test a $80-90 tire to a decent budget $40-50 tire. We already know how the cheapest crap tire on the internet peforms.

These cheap tires are probably best used by those folks who just want a casual flat fire road ride. My sister and frankly, my wife, both fit this category.

I'd rather go with a name brand. Don't care too much which brand, just make sure you don't pay MSRP.
Usually there are sales that give up to 50% on MSRP, so the difference between a name brand an a cheap chinese brand doesn't justify choosing the latter.

I did find it odd to weigh tires (tyres) with the paper wrap still attached.

Dam as someone who has a fat tire bike now I understand why it's so heavy the tires are 4kg a piece 😱

Nice advert for Vittoria! It was clear from the start what this was. a sponsor driven piece. Did not start with an open mind and picked obviously poor mismatched tyres rather than some better budget options. Great presenter but this was too blatant.

Versus tires. They give vittoria a run for their money in enduro or downhill.

Branded every time for me.

Look I love you guys and I understand that sponsors are needed to run the channel however, it would be really nice if you guys could test some of the actual affordable mountain bike tires made by companies who are trying to give a better price point. Of course the hundred-dollar tire is going to be better than the $17 Tire we know that Victoria and Maxxis make great tires but what about the other brands out there trying to make affordable tires? Is a tire that is half the price half as good? are there scenarios in which saving that money there could help some people spend more time on the trail?

Errrr sponsored by Vittoria
Plenty of tyres around £20-30 Including Swalbe Continental Maxxis
Its only about a year ago this channel was wetting itself over Assegais
Just a glorified advert this

There’s always a happy medium between astronomically pricy tires and dirt cheap, no name rubber.

You just can't have the same amount of fun on cheap tires.

i have the 29 x 2.6 fincci tires and they were way bigger than the the advertised 68 mm that's printed on the sidewall

enduro tires vs xc tires...
