Mezcals last for ages, Barzo's ok, Peyote's wear down super fast.

TNT carcasses all seem much tougher than Schwalbe snakeskins. Plus they go up tubeless easier.

I agree I have peyote on the back of both bikes
Super fast rolling but after a few months of usage they are starting to look a little worn.
However they don’t have much tread anyway.

Highly rate the tyres though.

I've used the TNT saguaro on the rear of my ibis, very pleaded with it

I moved from Schwalbe last year after one too many side wall tears. I've got Barzo front and Peyote rear on 3 bikes. Really rate them. Even in quite thick mud they seem a pretty good combination. I read in a review that the peyote wears pretty quickly but I've picked them up for £20 or less so not as big a concern as a sidewall tear in yet another rocket ron!!.

Couldn't agree more, bar the Peyote comment. I'm on 700km on the one on the rear of my HT and it's got at least 50% tread left, which isn't bad as that includes a fair bit of tarmac in there too.

They are pretty much bomb proof and put up with all sorts of clumsy-ass maneuvers and cope with rocks like Peak's and Welsh style ones really well

I've got a Barzo on the front of each of my bikes and as said a Peyote on the rear of one and  G+ Mezcal on the other.

Normal (non G+) Barzo's are thin on the ground now, G+'s are easier to get hold of but more expensive.

I vaguely recall my one and only Barzo wearing out pretty quick compared to Spesh Ground Control and Bonty XR3.

Just moved to Barzo's after 3 years of Ron's - I'm finishing off my Rons on the back of my bikes this year then replacing with Mezcals.

Echo all the above comments they are superior in every way, especially how they just pop on tubeless with ease.
