So i am going to do a quick review of this tire.
Well, i got the 2.1 version, and i have just riden it as rear. The tire is light as fuck, when my odyssey worn, and i put this, there were such a huge difference, that was like 200gr less in rotational weight. The tire grips just ok, its fine for street, get poor gripping in gravel. THe tire has lasted me only 3 months riding, what sucks ass, my odyssey one lasted 1 year or so and my duo svs lasted like 7-8 months.
In a few words, this tire is okay,except that it doesnt last shit.

I will post pics of the worn tire later

I've been looking to shed some weight since I've been running chromoly guards and such. I was gonna go with the momentums but you say the duos are better?

They are 33euro, which is 45 dollar, almost any tire is around that prize, but the next day shipping was 10euro, 13 dollar.

Im not sure of stunners. The side tread looks too aggressive for park. Slipping like mtt sort of thing.

Damn. It would probably be cheaper for somebody in another country to buy it and ship it to you.

I guess I ride differently than everyone else, I ALWAYS had that issue on my Odyssey Paths, and maybe twice on my momentums on loose dirt.

For me they are a legit tire, low rolling resistance, light weight, decent tread, and they lasted me a hell of a long time.

Maybe I land cleaner into my grinds or something, I don't know, but I haven't had any issues with my first set nor my second set I just picked up a few weeks back. Never blew a sidewall on them either. Now I did blow out a bunch of other tires, Odyssey being one that destroyed on a grind.

But these have been great.

Also, I rarely skid whether I have brakes or not.

I just don't skid much, when I am brakeless my shoes drage the ground not the tire, and I land smoothly into grinds, so my feebles are basically peg on the edge, front tire is barely 2 inches away from the edge if that makes sense.

Not really sure, but I have had the same set of grips last me a year without issue several times. My current ODIs are a year and a half old.

Sounds very similar to my situation Dave. I've been running my Demo Momentums since last March with no issues (2.35 in front, 2.20 in the rear). I ride brakeless and generally stop by putting my feet on the ground. I still have a good amount of tread left before thinking about replacement. 100% of my riding is street or park with a lot of grinding. My sidewalls are holding up fine, and I've had no blow-outs. I run high psi: 100-110, and never skid. The only complaint I have is the grip on these tires is only mediocre, so I may be going back to FAF Ks. ODI long necks are the same age as my tires and are far from replacement, but I ride with gloves since my hands sweat like a MF.

Any kind of grinding will ALWAYS grind your tire somehow if you are really into the grind. Otherwise, you'd only be grinding on like half of the peg and I doubt you'd land those or whatever; it's just not right. The whole tire is super thin in all, and all Demolition tires get flats super easily once they get to like 70% tread. I had to put layers of duct tape inside of my tires and school glue on the outside where there were holes cause I was so paranoid.
