My bud just pointed out that there were some interesting new Geax tires hitting the trails these days. I took a look at the website and the DH tires are looking strong http://www.geax.com/vedit/pagina.asp~pagina~1904
LOBO MAS LOCO
Built from the ground up for hard punishment and adrenaline rides, the Lobo Mas Loco is a no-compromise performer:
- tall, non-ramped knobs for unparalleled braking (can be turned when it wears out, a
for renewed stopping efficiency);
- Crossbones casing reinforcements, to better stand shocks and frontal impacts;
- Tuned Spring Rate Casing (Heavy Duty) and double hardness compound, the best
technology available;
- its high air volume will make for smooth landings after jumps and serious dropoffs;
- ideal when gravity pulls you down at high speed on shaped trails and loose ground
bike, or to have fun in bike parks.
Fast tyre for "New School" extreme freeriding.
Available in: TNT, UST, Fold.,
Rigid, TNT White Collection
Size: 26x2.50
Weight: from 960 g (Fold.)
Looks kinda Michy
DHEA
Dehydroepiandrosterone, a natural steroid prohormone, is the precursor of testosterone and estrogen. A big mean "meat" for downhilling and aggressive freeriding. Ramped central knobs for a fast rolling tyre, reinforced sidewalls and high volume casing to better cope with rocks and shocks. Sure and safe cornering, fast on berms thanks to the pronounced and aggressive side knobs.
Rigid tubeless: low inflating pressure (down to 1,8 bar) for an outstanding grip.
Top performer on different surfaces, it has different characteristics:
UST: 60 ShA compound and indestructible casing, the ideal tyre for hardpacked
conditions and high speeds;
TNT: 50 ShA compound on lateral knobs and TNT casing allow to perform
at the top on soft grounds and technical paths;
2.30 High Perf.: the ideal tyre for AM.
Light and usable when pedaling, this tyre gets the adrenalin like the other versions when pointed downhill (inflating pres sure: min 2 bar, max 4 bar).
Available in: TNT, UST, Fold., Rigid, TNT Triple Compound
Size: 26x2.30 and 26x2.50
Weight: from 790 g (smallest size, Fold.)

Reminds me of another tread that I can't put my finger on...
edit - I GOT IT!!! WTB-ish tread.
NEURON
"Neuron" is the name for the basic cellular component of the nervous tissue.
It is characterized by a highly polarized, electrically excitable matrix that evolved
with the sole purpose of transmitting nervous information and impulses; the
very same impulses our riders feed the tire when pushing the limits!
A super fast and reliable tire for hardpack and compact terrains, aggressive
tread pattern and heavy duty casing to withstand modern World Cup racing
levels of punishment.
Super low rolling resistance and optimum cornering grip thanks to the lateral knobs with internal cuts for a enhanced soil penetration.
Revolutionary construction allows for use tubeless (thanks to the UST talon) or
tubed; full rigid wire bead prevents air loss and unseating, typical problems in
modern DH racing. Available as Soft Compound or Triple Compound construction.
Available in: Rigid TNT, Rigid UST, Rigid TNT Triple Compound
Size: 26x2.30 and 26x2.50
Weight: from 990 g (smallest size, TNT)
