Strengths: This review is for the 26X2.1 DTC tires. These tires are awesome! Great traction and decent cornering. Good all around tire. Can handle light mud. Round profile.Weaknesses: I slid out once while cornering pretty fast. Might've been my fault though. Not great in mud, tends to lose traction. After 14 miles and a dozen or so jumps, I found my front tube had a slow leak. I hit plenty of small stumps and sticks between jumps. The jumps were not hard landing though.Bottom Line: These tires are great for the money. I paid $60 for the pair. I was looking at these or Maxxis Ikons which also have good reviews. I settled on these tires for the price. Much less than the price of the Ikons and just as many good reviews. The tread pattern doesn't look too aggressive but the tire is by no means a pavement tire. SOOOOO much better than my previous tires (some Specialized Crossroads - great on pavement and short grass). I give these tires 5 chilis for the value cause they rock. 4 Overall rating since they tend to lose traction in mud. Haven't tried these tires tubeless, but once I can afford a Stans kit I'll give it a shot.

Strengths: This is for the 29x2.2 Great Grip, large volume, transitions in corners wellWeaknesses: Rolls a little slower than I would like. Not tubeless ready.Bottom Line: I like these tires for everything but soft sand. They grip really well, almost as well as the Nevegal so I run them front and back for XC and swap the front for a Nevegal for more all mountain trails. I did like the Hutch Python on the back better for climbing and RR but the slant six has more volume and corners better. I was surprised how well these griped in the corners at speed with the front at 23 psi and the rear at 30. I weigh 170 lbs. My only complaint is they are not tubeless.
