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 works

Weaknesses:    none found so far

Bottom 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
