I love the Prowler SL’s – running them front & rear since the beginning of the season. My one complaint about them: They wear crazy fast one pavement. Of course, it is sold as a race tire and does use WTB’s softer tire compound. Also, running the rear tire in reverse does offer heaps more traction. The rear is about shot after about 300 miles of on/off road use, but still does alright off-road run reverse. The Vulpine looks great for a commuter tire, but I’m worried how it will wear, given that it is also Race/DNA compound. I’d hate to use them as a commuter tire and burn them out in 200 miles on the road.

Yeah, I noticed a huge improvement off-road by switching my front from a Nano to a Prowler. Left the Nano in back for speed, but that Prowler transformed my bike into a rideable off-road machine.

I love my Vulpines as a commuter and hard pack tire and just slapped on a set of MotoRaptors
for the rough Bay Area winters (not!). They are the DNA compound. They seem to work well, I guess tire names change fast these days, but all in the name of progress, right?
