I found a bunch of Duro Razorback tires on ebay. I gather that this tire is the same as the Duro Wildlife Leopard, just a new name.
A variety of sizes, each $31 shipped!
I bought two 24x3. I asked the seller if he combined shipping (even though it’s already a great deal). His response:
"Sorry but These tires (24x3) are large and we are losing money on the shipping. The tires are way below retail. "
Well this is encouraging for those people heavily invested in 24" riding. I was going to buy up a bunch of Wildlife leopards for my 24" gmuni but i might not have to if these are out in the market place.

I think the compound may have a bit higher rating than the older wildlife, which was very soft. This looks to be maybe around 60,(medium) or higher, which would make it wear longer, and that would be a good thing! This is only speculation on my part, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the older duro was 50 or below.
Not necessarily. I once rode a Halo Ception - basically a scaled down Leopard - on my Oracle 24. Although it wasn’t entirely terrible, it was handled rather unpleasantly. I know it’s volume (or relative lack therof) will have played a part, but it definitely felt stiffer than the Leopard. Perhaps slightly firmer rubber would be better on a more voluminous 3" tyre; feedback would be much apreciated!
