I've been running S12s on both ends and they definitely get put to the
test in western Oregon. I also run really low tire pressures, about
7-8 lbs in both tires.

7-8psi?????
i usually run 12-15
i just decided to run what i had, only went out for 10 minutes... that was
about all i could take, that was more like breaking in horses than riding a
bike.. i'm either sorely out of shape or the pig wrestling match was a bit
more of a chalange than i'm used to. some how i refrained from coating the
house with roost and kept the throttle blips to a minimum when i returned
from the back 40...

i need a beer & a nap, later

skinney little Michelin trials thingeys.. I got a little drunk and
still had the Harvettes credit card from earlier... How do they do?
Do I run my foamie in it or a tube?

i think the foamie will be to stiff
unless you have a limp foamie
I'd go for the inflatable insert
speaking of polymers and all that....
i have a friend that made those huge
bumpers for tug boats and he could
modify the formula to tailor make the
density to the customers spec... i always wondered
how a solid tire would hold up to the heat generated
from the friction of romping about the back yard...

The first time someone told me about it, I thought they were crazy
too. You need all the traction you can get around here. You can't
really go fast enough to cause pinch flats and the lower pressure
gives you much better traction in the slimey stuff.
