Strengths: Great tubeless
rolls fast
tough sidewalls
feels bigger than 2.2Weaknesses: not great as a rear on wet roots
Bottom Line: Love this tire, has been great in all conditions except mud, especially good in the always hard to tame "loose over hard."

Strengths: Tough, low rolling resistanceWeaknesses: Poor performance in mud, grip degrades as tire wears out.Bottom Line: I used this tire as a rear tire on my singlespeed and was impresed by its performance when new, but it degraded quickly as the knobs wore out. It's also not great in mud or damp or wet roots and rocks. It doesn't conform to terrain as well as softer tires like a Weirwolf LT, and so dowsn't hook up as well. On the plus side the sidewalls and casing are tough- never any flat problems, and it rolls fairly smoothly.
In the final analysis this is a decent, tough tire but I wouldn't pay more than 40 or so dollars for it, because performance degrades noticably as the tire wears out. Might work better as a front tire, since wear is less of an issue there.

Strengths: Tough sidewalls. Easy tubeless setup. Relatively low rolling resistance.Weaknesses: Sketchy traction in loose conditions. Useless on off camber trailsBottom Line: I only ran this as a front tire on my Sultan, so this review does not apply as a rear. This tire might actually be more useable on the rear. As a front, I think the profile of the tire is a bit square. It rolled nicely on hard pack, but as soon as you lean it over in any kind of loose or off camber conditions, it totally lost grip. Sometimes you can correct for it, and sometimes it just blows right out from under you. It does not inspire confidence at speed. The longer I rode this tire, the worse it got. Seems as though the chunky granite rocks around here chewed up the tread pretty quickly, though that may be no fault of the tires.
These tires were setup both tubed and tubeless on Stan's Flow rims.
