Specialized hardrock tyres originals

[dyna-ti]

I have a pair of spesh hardrock tyres.
I can find no info about them,either in the archives or general googling

When did specialized spec these tyres.Theyre grey tread with cream coloured skinwalls. The name on them only says 'specialized hardrock[2.1" i think :? ]
I reckon theyd have to be early given that most dont release bike model branded tyres :?

I´ve never heard of Hardrock tyres, but in the late eighties Spesh did offer Hardpack tyres within their midrange bikes, see over here:

Yeah,those are the ones.
Personally ,id have thought them earlier than that due to the skinwall but what do i know
Mystery solved thanks very much

Next tyre-
Panaracer magic xc rear specific i brought home yesterday What a lovely colour though.
Whats the matching front? anyone know.Yes im too lazy to hunt for it myself

Think they did a Magic XC for the front too.

If you come a across a pair of Smoke & Dart Magics (same colour as the Magic XC)...............

I found an ad ,it ios indeed just named magic xc then front.
Im sure there was a pair of Smoke & Dart a couple of weeks ago :? Black/skinwall i think :/

I really should put up a list of tyres and have the other guys look out for them
Any others anyone can think to add to the list ?
And sure ,ill also pass on the onza octopus ones for just postage
