Strengths: Durable, rolls well, tractionWeaknesses: does seep for a while (long while) set up tubelessBottom Line: I've been riding this tire (rear only) for two years all over CO and into Utah. It has held up remarkably well (it should, as there is a ton of rubber on it), and I am just now thinking about replacing it. It is heavy, but it rolls very well, and handles just about everything quite well. The only times that I haven't been impressed with this tire is in mud or wet root sections- luckily I don't encounter that much here.

Strengths: LOTS of grip in packed to cushion riding, yet still very fast. Seem to be very predictable on off-camber or leaning in hard. I'm a momentum rider and these don't hold me back one bit. Popped right on with stans, no struggle. Weight is decent too, esp. considering the size/amount of knobs and no "sipes".Weaknesses: None so far. I might like some siped sections for a bit more "wet" grip, but this can be done by oneself... Also, maybe more width options?Bottom Line: Love these tires. Definitely surpassed my expectations and has me second guessing my thoughts of Panaracer mtb tires going out of date. Surprisingly a bit hard to find and get ahold of though...

Strengths: Durable so far. Capable in most conditions.Weaknesses: Tends to grab roots running parallel with the trail and slide easily on ones crossing it. Not good. Doesn't run tubeless well.Bottom Line: I use this tire on the rear. Overall, I consider it an average performer. It is extrememly porous and is not easy to set up for tubeless. Despite repeated efforts, it still slow leaks. It does seem to be a resiliant tire as its held up well against occasional poor line choices and plenty of roots and rock gardens. Never a tear or puncture. It loses traction too quickly on rooty climbs which can be extremely frustrating. On most other surfaces, including creek crossings, it seems to grab just fine.

Strengths: For dessert riding its flat out worksWeaknesses: none found so farBottom Line: In the first 60 miles I've had with this 2.25x29"er tire i'm very happy on how it preforms especially in the marblely rocks you find on top of slick-rock up on gooseberry mesa.
Tracks very well in sand.
Is quite quick on fire roads and pavement for how knobby it is and how much it weighs in at.
Leaves a fun track in the dirt!
So far no nits to pick
