The Attack FSX I tested weighs 1460g and the Snap WCE MK2 was right at 1500g, which is about what Vee claims.\u00a0The weights are on par with Vee\u2019s burliest DH Core casing tires, which the brand says \u201cdelivers maximum support, protection, and durability.\u201d Attack FSX tires with GXE casings \u2014 Gravity x Enduro \u2014 weigh nearly 200g less.<\/p>\n<p>Mounting the RAD Core tires didn\u2019t require too much muscle. I was expecting they would put up a fight, but the stiff sidewall just needed some massaging and bending to soften the rubber. A couple of Pedro\u2019s tire levers was all I really needed to get that last bit of bead onto the rim.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div style=\"min-height: 250px;padding: auto;margin-bottom: 20px\" class=\"singl-ab1417c3824f1eeefa4f298bccf2bbd9 singl-content\" id=\"singl-ab1417c3824f1eeefa4f298bccf2bbd9\"><\/div>\n<p>My mini compressor blasted the bead onto my carbon rims on the first try. I mounted the wheels and set my air pressure. Vee recommends you start at least 5 PSI higher than you normally would, and to increase tire pressure if more support is needed.\u00a0 They state you can inflate the tire all the way up to 50 PSI. I normally run 23-24PSI up front and 25-26PSI in the rear. With these radial tires I bumped the pressure up to 27-28PSI front and 30-31PSI rear which felt good to me.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>All said and done, my Santa Cruz went from a solid thirty pounds with pedals to thirty-three and a half pounds with these tires. That is quite the increase, but these tires aren\u2019t for weight weenies!\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-on-the-trail-with-the-new-radial-vee-tires\">On the trail with the new radial Vee tires<\/h2>\n<p>I headed to my local trails for a couple of laps. I was expecting a sluggish climb, but to my surprise, the tires roll well for their category. While these aren\u2019t XC-efficient tires, the casing kept them very composed as they rolled over bumps and roots. It\u2019s an interesting feeling riding radial tires, as the radial casing threads actively conform over uneven surfaces. It\u2019s subtle but noticeable on climbs compared to non-radial tires. The weight of the tires is noticeable on the climbs, but again, these are gravity tires.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div style=\"min-height: 250px;padding: auto;margin-bottom: 20px\" class=\"singl-37ed7fa6f816d74388b63d845a5b74f0 singl-content\" id=\"singl-37ed7fa6f816d74388b63d845a5b74f0\"><\/div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/images.singletracks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2569.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"4032\" height=\"3024\" data-id=\"719745\" src=\"\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%204032%203024'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images.singletracks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2569.jpg\" alt class=\"wp-image-719745 lazy\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/images.singletracks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2569.jpg 4032w, https:\/\/images.singletracks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2569-750x563.jpg 750w, https:\/\/images.singletracks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2569-1170x878.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/images.singletracks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2569-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/images.singletracks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2569-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/images.singletracks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2569-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/images.singletracks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2569-600x450.jpg 600w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 4032px) 100vw, 4032px\"><\/a><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/images.singletracks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2573.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"4032\" height=\"3024\" data-id=\"719744\" src=\"\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%204032%203024'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images.singletracks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2573.jpg\" alt class=\"wp-image-719744 lazy\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/images.singletracks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2573.jpg 4032w, https:\/\/images.singletracks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2573-750x563.jpg 750w, https:\/\/images.singletracks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2573-1170x878.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/images.singletracks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2573-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/images.singletracks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2573-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/images.singletracks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2573-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/images.singletracks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2573-600x450.jpg 600w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 4032px) 100vw, 4032px\"><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<p>On the descents I tried to look past the fact that I was rolling on fresh, tacky rubber and knobby, aggressive tread. My immediate first impression while descending was that the trail chatter muffled but not quite muted; the feedback is still there. High-speed chatter was felt particularly lower than on a standard tire. I did not feel the rubber squirm even in tight corners, and there was plenty of support in both the front and the rear. I\u2019ve ridden 2.40- and 2.50-inch-wide tires in the past, but I could feel there was a bit more trail contact patch from these 2.50\u2019s, especially on tight turns. I think it\u2019s a feeling a lot of folks who ride chunky and exposed trails will enjoy, as these tires take some of the vibration off of your hands. These tires love to grip and rip.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe it\u2019s just me, but sometimes I worry if my mountain bike tire will hold the corner, especially if the riding line gets compromised at the last second.\u00a0 These tires kept my mind at ease at higher speeds, and that\u2019s when they really shine \u2014 on the descents. These Vee tires are screaming at me to take them to the bike park.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/images.singletracks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2559.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"4032\" height=\"3024\" src=\"\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%204032%203024'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images.singletracks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2559.jpg\" alt class=\"wp-image-719747 lazy\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/images.singletracks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2559.jpg 4032w, https:\/\/images.singletracks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2559-750x563.jpg 750w, https:\/\/images.singletracks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2559-1170x878.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/images.singletracks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2559-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/images.singletracks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2559-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/images.singletracks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2559-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/images.singletracks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2559-600x450.jpg 600w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 4032px) 100vw, 4032px\"><\/a><\/figure>\n<p>I described how these tires felt like to my wife over dinner and she commented, \u201cLike our new car tires?\u201d. While not an apples to apples comparison, she had the idea! I went through a slightly similar experience with a set of new Michelin tires on our car. We originally had an OEM, sporty fast tire that accelerated quickly and efficiently, but made us feel every road imperfection. We then upgraded to a supple, grippy, and quiet tire. We bought these new tires for this exact purpose and they delivered! The acceleration and MPG did take a small hit but it was a tradeoff well worth it for us on the daily drives.

True radial designs are typically used for vehicle tires and orient the threads at a 90\u00b0 angle that\u2019s basically perpendicular to the centerline. The advantage of this design is that the tire conforms to the terrain better. The disadvantage is the sidewalls are less stiff.

The benefits are obvious if you have been in the sport for some time. I don\u2019t think radial casing designs are a gimmick but rather another option for riders looking to get more out of their tires based on the terrain they ride. While Radial casing may not be for every rider out there, I think it\u2019s here to stay. Vee Tire Co. definitely put a lot of thought into their designs and did a good job integrating RAD Core into these existing tire models.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t&lt;!&#8211;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>Related articles<\/h4>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t&#8211;&gt;<\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 30px\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\tjQuery(function() {<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tpostpayloads._b0d0b3d3186c2ab0f1cc25077091fa1f = {&#8220;ids&#8221;:&#8221;688717,682525,714331,589177&#8243;,&#8221;posts_per_page&#8221;:null,&#8221;offset&#8221;:0,&#8221;style&#8221;:&#8221;4up&#8221;};<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tpostcounter._b0d0b3d3186c2ab0f1cc25077091fa1f = {start: 0, step: 0, end: 0};<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t});<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\" style=\"background: #fff\">\n<div class=\"col-xs-6 col-md-3 st_archive_4up\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.singletracks.com\/mtb-gear\/schwalbe-albert-mtb-tires-boast-30-more-contact-area-than-conventional-tires-review\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images.singletracks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/DSC1251-750x500.jpg\" alt='Close-up image of a mountain bike tire resting on grassy ground, with the text \"Schwalbe Albert Gravity Pro TLR 29x2.50 Soft Radial\" visible on the sidewall.
