GOODYEAR Newton ST Ridden & Reviewed

[@antiherobc]

What tires are you riding on your rig?

[@sircrackien]

Maxxis Assegai with double down casing and Maxx Grip rubber, so far so good

[@antiherobc]

that Assegai is a good tire

[@bikingwithryan5968]

Vittoria mazza and Martello

[@kenzohkw]

I run a Newton ST EN Premium on the front and in the dry its decent but its useless in the wet. The compound is far too hard and has no stickiness to it so any wet rocks or roots its like hitting ice. I'm going back to Maxxis. There compounds are just so much better and inspire lots of confidence on the bike.

Hahahaha love those closeups Wayne! I can feel you’re trying to convey 😂

[@antiherobc]

haha. I'm glad you liked it buddy. How are ya doing?

[@Esteb858]

Ride Rate Review my wife and I just purchased our first house so we have been crazy busy with the move and also with all the new house chores that we haven’t had to do before. Having a front and backyard has been great for our dogs so that was a huge bonus!

@@Esteb858 congrats my bru, are you mowing your own lawns?

[@Esteb858]

@@antiherobc Thanks my bru! Yeah getting use to this manual labor nonsense lol! It has taken time away from my bike for sure but i'll get back into the swing of things once we get into a stable routine.

Shot Wayne, I was wondering about those tyres, so this is handy! Just one thing - you mentioned riding in Europe as part of the review... I found my brand new set of tyres wore down to almost-finished after two weeks in the Alps (and they were not these, another brand's DH offerings). Perhaps a big part of the wear is due to average steepness (braking forces, etc being applied) and the sheer quantity of riding one does on those trips. So perhaps the Europe trip conditions are not entirely fair on any set of tyres wrt longevity? And man, those Lesotho trails... still hoping to get to Kingdom this year!

[@antiherobc]

Ja, in a way yes. I got a Maxxis mid trip and I'm still riding it. very minimal wear so far.

[@BikesTrailsandGreenways]

Nice review Wayne, for some reason I don't see Goodyear or Michelin as much here as I do Maxxis, Schwalbe and Kenda.

[@antiherobc]

Yeah, it's the same here. Maxxis & Schwalbe are also the most common tires this side, Maxxis is a bit cheaper than Schwalbe so those are on most bikes.

[@SavageMTB]

just turned tubless on this one goodyear newton 27.5

[@5492sparky]

Good review Wayne.

[@antiherobc]

Thanks Mark. I hope it was helpful

[@travellerseko]

Mate, I live in Scotland and usually muddy conditions. I have minion DHF and DHR. What tyre (durable) do you recommend me? I was recommended below ones but open to every opinion: 1) Maxxis Aggressor 2) Michelin wild Enduro 3) Schwabe Magic Marry 4) Michelin DH34 5) WTB Verdict 6) Continental Kryptotal or Der Kaiser

[@keaty1984]

Can you review the michillen wild enduro's please.

[@antiherobc]

I'll see if I can get a set soon

[@MTBMOR]

Never considered this tire...Minion DHF on front....but always playing with the rear..

[@antiherobc]

Dhf is a great tire

[@MTBMOR]

@@antiherobc Yes it is...I am hearing the DHR 2 is amazing too on the front and rear...

[@luisla5269]

@@MTBMOR running a dhr on front, rekon on rear currently. will swap for dhf on front/dissector on the rear when my tires are worn out

[@gabsantiago7676]

Which is more better and expensive ultimate or premium?

[@antiherobc]

Ultimate is better

[@pineappleexpresshk]

I got 2.5 so awsome

[@rodrigocodilla9193]

can you suggest goodyear tire combo for enduro ?

[@antiherobc]

newton front and back

[@mtbboy1993]

I assume you did not ride more than usual in those 3 weeks, to wear the tyre down that much, but that looks bad, does not look like that tyre is for me then. ca how many km did you do on it ?

[@antiherobc]

I ride around 5 days per week ranging from 20 - 40km per ride.

[@DM-rh7qb]

Will this tire do fine on an 28mm rim?

[@antiherobc]

yeah, it will be fine

[@DM-rh7qb]

@@antiherobc would you happen to know the actual width if it was sat on a 28mm rim?

[@HairyMTB]

Where did you manage to find this tyre ?

[@antiherobc]

I got it from Get SToked, You could order online from them and get it to your LBS

[@VShreds]

So that why you carried worn tire half across the world :D

[@antiherobc]

Bahahaha.

[@antiherobc]

How's boarding season ?

[@VShreds]

Crappy winter this year. On the bright side, it won't take long for snow to melt on bike trails. Will start with Finale in April before heading into the Alps. Any plans for another eurotrip this season?

[@Steve-O-NC]

Michelin for the win

[@antiherobc]

Nice, Those are very rare this side. They only bring in the narrow Michelin tires.

Bahahaha..... knobs are best tickled on the tips.
