Strengths: Climb like a beast and corner well in soft dirt and leaves when properly configured (reversible). You can just feel these guys hook up. They shed mud like a duck sheds water.Weaknesses: High but expected rolling resistance, constantly getting leaves stuck in them making the annoying biplane sound. A little soft. Useless in sandy conditions (traction drops to nada)Bottom Line: I love these tires. I think for Riding in temperate climates where you'll get some mud and leaves they perform very well. Have served me well for over 500 miles.

Strengths: Mounted up tubeless with no effort. Good traction and rolls very well, using as a front tire.Weaknesses: None found yetBottom Line: Mounted on the Bontrager Tubeless strips, aired up easily, held air with no weeping in the side walls.
Rode a few rides with them so far, holds a line well and provides plenty of traction. Stock tires were good(Bonty 29-3)but developed some pin holes in the side walls and rear got torn. These were a great choice for a replacement tire. Not as much volume as the 29-3 but works well anyway.
These look like they'll be very durable.
A bit more "roost" coming off the front tire but a fair trade off for some great traction.

Strengths: Very good traction in most conditions, relatively light weight, good cushion for a small volume tire. Rolling resistance seemed to be decent good too - not the greatest, but considering such deep treads it rolls pretty well.
It's pretty light for it's size too. Not light like a Karma or Crow, but decent.Weaknesses: It's not a big volume plush tire for those looking for that characteristic.Bottom Line: A great all-purpose, small volume tire. Not necessarily made for the big tire fanatic. Not the fastest tire out there, but holds it's own. This lends itself to being a great rear tire.
But for those looking for a tire for general purpose riding, or for weekend warrior types who don't have the time or money to be switching tires for many different types of terrain, this tire is a very nice choice.
Favorite Trail: too many to list...
