The Slaughter uses a classic small knob centre/big block shoulder semi-slick design in an affordable, gear gifting package but it’s not as tough as its width and weight would suggest.
The centre tread is slightly bigger and wider spaced than on the fastest tyres in its category but it’s still significantly faster than a full-knob tyre. It gives a bit more bite in looser/wetter conditions than most semi-slicks, and a supple, trail tracking feel for tactile communication. The big 50 duro shoulder knobs give a reassuring ring of grip to lean on through turns and off-camber sections or claw out of ruts. The Control carcass blows up and seats easily too, but low-pressure crumpling and vulnerable sidewalls mean the reinforced Grid version is more suitable for typical UK use.
