a Cross Country RiderDate Reviewed: October 25, 2012
Strengths: Wet weather traction on pretty much any surface.
Good stiction on dry surfaces
Strong sidewalls
Lightweight - mine have all been < 700g
Relatively long life - they die slowly. The tread wears evenly.
Tubeless setup is a snap.
And ... can't forget the ubiquitous - "fast rolling!" for those who careWeaknesses: The 29-3 TLR Team Issue 2.25 29er have been discontinued.
Please Bonty - bring 'em back!
Aside from sketchy front wheel performance in dry kibble, noneBottom Line: We are talking about the Bontrager 29-3 TLR Team Issue 2.25 29er
Great tactile feel and traction grip on wet rock, roots, loam and gravel. I have been running this front and rear on 2010 RIP9 for 2.5 years. Finally, wore out the rear.
Exception front tire tracking despite how the tire appears - no large side knobs - just a spider-web of knobs and ridges.
Unfortunately it appears to be discontinued.
Don't waste your time on the 29-3 Team non-TLR - filmsy sidewalls. Same tread patter

Strengths: This tire is good in dry conditions, and it rolls nicely.Weaknesses: They are rally bad in wet conditions.Bottom Line: If you ride on wet trails or over large roots; or even worse wet roots. Then they suck; to the point that they really hold me back and take most of the fun out of riding.
If I only biked in dry conditions they would be a decent tire; but I do not. If you bike on wet or even damp trails I would defiantly not get this tire.

Strengths: It's a tire. Rolls greatWeaknesses: Scares me going fastBottom Line: This is my front tire on a bike I just bought. I very much miss my slow rolling, grippy, cushy Rampage when it comes to the downhill. I just don't feel as confident when I have to lean into a turn. I will be searching for a front tire that is not as slowing as the Rampage but has better grip than this guy.

Strengths: Great tire for most conditions, hold up well. Nice 'n' grippy.Weaknesses: Not the best for grit over hard or for the mud.Bottom Line: I've purchased several of these tires, all with good results. They have great grip, reminding me of my original mountain bike that came with the Dart up front. The oldest tire I have is a little over a year old right now and it looks fine given how much I've ridden it. Given a choice, I'll keep these on the front of my 29ers for a great any-condition tire.
