Looking for an alternative to 24x3.0 Duro Wildlife Leopard

skyungjae · May 10, 2018

Has anyone tried these two tires as an alternative to 24x3.0 Duro Wildlife Leopard?

Street or dirt?

I use the Wildlife on the street in the winter, the Berm Master in the summer.

Those tires that you link to, are thin and weak compared to a Duro Wildlife.

On dirt, I use 26 inch because the ride is better, and the tires are many. I like the Nevegal.

I suppose mostly street at this point. I wanted something that can do a little bit of both. The center knobs on the Duros wear out quick on the street.

I live in California where we only have 1 season and 2 weeks of rain, so I can get away with one type of tire all year round. :lol:

The 24 X 3.0 Berm Master is not good for dirt, other than nice hard pack. On the street it does very good on a wide rim, low PSI.

Eastgem in China, has a 2kg 24 X 3 street tire that I would like to try. http://www.eastgem.net/tire-24x3.html

The Berm Masters do come in at a decent price. $30 + shipping and handling is pretty good.

I'm also interested in those Eastgem tires which are $37 + shipping and handling on aliexpress which is also good compared to the price of the Duro Wildlife.

EDIT: Shipping for the Eastgem on Aliexpress is $83 USD. That's a buzz kill.

Thanks
There are very few items in their online shop, but I will contact them to know. I suppose they will be willing to handle an order for a dozen tires. Many other items are interesting on the eastgem website.

The wildlife is expansive because it is a soft gum. Both the berm master and the denzel are 60A, less grip but longer life. Better grip can be achieved with harder gum, using a wider rim and riding lower PSI. The denzel is interesting because of its thick casing. 2kg for a 24’’ bicycle tire is very robust.
