Strengths and weaknesses
A cult-favourite overland tyre famous for its indestructible carcass and 9,000+ mile lifespan.
Where it's good
- Owners praise its rock and gravel performance across remote terrain.
Where it falls short
- Riders warn that the continuous centre rubber strip on wider rear sizes spins on wet grass/mud and can feel hard and slick on cold, wet road paint.

Holloway ratings
Seven separate scores, not one blended number, since a tyre that's brilliant in mud can be miserable on a wet motorway link, and vice versa.

Remember: a tyre's real character also depends on how worn it is, what pressure it's run at, and the bike it's fitted to. A great green-lane tyre on the wrong pressure, or worn past its best, can behave nothing like its rating suggests. Check the lane's own hazards and current conditions before you go, not just a tyre score.
