Strengths: Tread pattern and sizesWeaknesses: slightly narrowBottom Line: Works great as a fast rolling, great climbing, good braking, relatively light rear tire. 2.3 is still visibly narrower than my 2.2 nobby nic. I would compare to maxxis ardent. 55$ for a tubeless ready tire isn't ridiculously priced either. large side treads, and larger ramped (but low profile) center treads should hold up better in the rocks than my previous tire.

Strengths: Great rear tire...awesome traction w/low rolling resistance. Sets up tubeless easy. Not too heavy.Weaknesses: None.Bottom Line: This is a great rear tire...not sure how it would work on the front...me thinks not as well as some others just by the look of the tread design..it just doesn't say "front" to me. Its durable in the control casing and I never had a burp.

Strengths: Good all rounder. Well made. Light for what it accomplishes.Weaknesses: Nothing yet.Bottom Line: While I've never been a big fan of Specialized tires in the past, the design of this one seemed pretty logical. So far I've only used it on the front but it seems like the sort of tire that would work at either end. I like the edge knob buttressing which keeps them from falling over - a pet peeve here in sidehill country - and the centre pattern is fast and smooth rolling. The transition from upright to leaned is quite linear.
It's hard to get excited about a tire that doesn't do any particular thing exceptionally well, but maybe just having no aggravating weak spots is what you're supposed to get excited about. I suppose really deep loose or sand is iffy but unless you go to a really tall knob - heavy and noisy - that is a given.
A no surprises tire; I'd buy again.

Strengths: Pretty dang good roller for the traction it gives. sheds mud pretty goodWeaknesses: I hate to compare, but it does not have the braking power of the onstage xc pro, but it is a faster, lighter, tire. It does skip on wet rocks and roots.Bottom Line: I actually have been quite pleased with the quality of this tire so far. It's just a solid tire
