If you haven't mounted it yet TAKE IT BACK! Trail Wings are nicknamed "Death Wings" because they suck so bad on dirt... especially dirt roads. The first bike I bought for Lynn had them on it and I wouldn't even let her ride the bike until I replaced them.


thanks for the heads up on the nick name thing, I'm still thinking 90% rd 10% trail and this is a 50/50 tire.Not really looking for a aggressive off rd.

If you really want them I think I still have the set off of Lynn's bike. I'll bring them to you Saturday and if you want ride  over and we'll mount them.

After a couple days of ridding on trail wings they are great on the road. Pavement high speed hard cornering I  can rub foot pegs. I do see what was said about a little slide ways in corners on gravel roads, with a little throttle it will break lose quick. Bridgestone list this as a 50 /50 tire too me it feels more like 70 / 30 .
