Has anyone tried Vee Rubber tyres and are they any good?

For my sins i tried them back in 2002 with my first outing on them in the Scott Trial. I knew from the off i had made a terrible mistake as they rode worst than me old tyres.

They may seem cheap and new but the rear is the most important part of the bike so why chance

I have just bought a section of a nice chap from France and it came with a Vee Rubber front and back, I have not tested them but he gave a good report and said they were a good tyre and recommended them, I have also heard good reports from other people too but i guess everyone has there own preference some will perform better than others but I guess it will also depend on conditions, suspension set up, Tyre PSI etc etc.

I'm trying a pair at the moment. I'm a returning wobbler but find them more than adequate. They gripped OK in the mud/ sand at the Cambridge Matchless trial yesterday and loss of grip was my fault. Certainly, they don't feel as horrible as I remember the Pirelli to be (fitting that WAS a mistake!).

I guess it depends on your ability and the terrain. I'm not looking for the final 5% of performance yet, and these tyres are fine for me at the moment.
