I think maybe some people have developed crooked riding habits as a
result of gazzaloddi? And then when turning to the duro tire, find that
they are somehow riding in circles without meaning to... Mine has
tracked perfectly straight since day 1, it just took me time to learn
how to actually turn into uphill slopes at first, but then I couldn't
ride any uni very well at that stage. The 24x3 tires all seem to be
nearly identical from looking at them, it seems pretty amazing to me
that they can yet be so different in riding practice. I think since I
know the knobs are just going to wear off, I will probably continue
selecting tires based firstly on price, and then on how it rides, and
how cool it looks :-)

The gazz has an almost square profile so if you're on a skinny or angled
rocks or whatever you can get total traction even if only a small edge
of the tire is in contact. Also the sidewall on the gazz makes it wayy
better for hopping IMO.

If you want a lightweight 24x3" tyre your options are pretty limited.
The Gazzaloddi weighs about the same as the Duro, if not more and the
IRC Kujo is only 40g less than the Gazz. It seems if you want a 24 x 3"
tyre its going to weigh lots because of all the rubber there. Maybe get
a Dyno fireball.
