Well I just received our shop order and those XM's on QBP are indeed the new 320tpi. Super supple casing, way better than the older 290tpi casing and nice sticky black rubber.<br />
<br />
Andrew, how are you running these tires? Reversed on the back?

The Boss sent out the order before I could add them so I'll probably order them on Monday. Plus I really didn't want to rush glue the tires for this weekend.

did you order some? let us know how they do, or snap a pic when they arrive. I'm awaiting our test pair too.

America's top pro cyclocross racer (hint the only guy to ever podium at elite worlds) had a set on the muddy day at Gloucester. He is sponsored by a different tire maker, so I am not mentioning his name (though he is also from NH, enough hints?). Though he is generally not picky about equipment, he does like good tires, and says he likes these for mud conditions. He was also running Rhinos in the mud.

I called BikeMine/Vittoria USA and they had 320tpi XM in stock, just 30 of them. Its the same price as the quantity break price at QBP so I am assuming that QBP did not change the description to 320

I can't find Rhinos anywhere and looks like QBP has the Black XMs in stock. I have to call to confirm they are the 320tpi but I assume it is.

hey katsu,<br />
<br />
we have a pair in test (290 tpi). been good, esp in the rear, but the knobs are very thin so they wear quite fast when it's not soft and muddy (like norcal most of the time before our 4 inches or rain). i like the vittoria sidewalls - not so fragile, and the 320 tpi tire we have (XG) is very supple.<br />
<br />
they've been having some supply problems on the 320 tpi - may not make it this season.<br />

rhinos seem to last longer tread-wise, but don't know too many that have worn out the tread on a rhino before needing to replace it for some other reason.<br />

I run Fango tubulars and they are ok in low to medium mud. But in horrible mud conditions, they suck. Cost really isn't too much of an issue.
