Schwalbe radial tyres

[Rob Rides EMTB]

What does "too much tram lining" mean?

Because the front tread pattern has two huge “V” shaped knobs, with no centre knob, I found the bike wanted to run in the middle of the tread, and the centre blocks are forced outwards, meaning you’re actually running in the middle of the two huge “V” shaped knobs.

It felt like the bike wanted to go in a straight line between these knobs, and took a lot of rider input to get it on the outside of these/ initiate a turn.

With a centre block it would be much much better.

Interesting, I've not had this sensation.

If you get a chance, try the rear on the front also. I much prefer it that way.

Anyone know why the difference in sidewall carcass between some of the treads? The MM has this diamond pattern across it all, but the Albert is a regular smooth surface. Figured the diamonds weee part of the radial construction when I first opened the MM but then the Albert looked normal.

Agreed. The Shredda Front seems almost like a full wet tire. Think Maxxis Wet Scream if you've seen one in person. I've read a few reviews with the Shredda rear in the front and that seemed the best without being overkill like the front would be for soft/loose conditions. Then the MM in the rear.
