Strengths: Performance on hard pack, decent tracking, ability to take turns in softer corners, mud.Weaknesses: Noise on the street (if that matters to you)Bottom Line: These tires came stock on my Trek 4300 Disc and my friends Trek Marlin. They seem to be holding up well to my rookie mistakes in the rock piles and sandy washes that I frequently ride. I was certain a few times after hitting the corners of a sharp rocks that it was going to tear up the tire but I was wrong. Still messing with the air pressure to feel out the best "floation" vs. rolling resistance on the tires so I really can't comment on that other then they roll fast on the street when air'd up. They do grab nicely on the mild rocky uphills that we ride on and I'm sure as my skills progress they will do even better. The only perceived drawback is the noise of the tires when riding on the street. Overall I'm very pleased with the performance of the tires. Great for all round riding.

Strengths: Light, strong, and fast!Weaknesses: None thus farBottom Line: I swapped a Kenda Nevegal 2.35 setup on Mavic 819s for this XR2 TLR. Most of the trails I ride are sand/loose gravel and don't warrant the Nevegal. Rode it for the first time today and was VERY IMPRESSED! The rolling speed is incredible and the grip is tremendous. I pushed this tire farther into a turn than ever before and it never let go. With such a minimal tread pattern, I was completely surprised at how well it maintained grip. Very nimble through rock gardens too. Definitely shaved significant weight as well. Spend the money for the "Team Issue" - for added durability it's worth it.

Strengths: grippy, tubless, fast rolling, mud sheddingWeaknesses: wide sidewall sticks outBottom Line: only ridden the tire 6 times @ about 15 miles per ride. switched to this tire to combat the sandy/loose over hard pack/ hard-pack terrain of southern NJ. at the right pressure (about 37psi) this thing does anything you want it to very well. it transitions smoothly between straight line accel and turning. the tire is also very well constructed and can take a beating quite well. the "team issue" is worth the extra $$.
