WTB WeirWolf 2.3 Tire
Product DescriptionDesigned to prowl the backcountry, the WeirWolf is the go-to choice for extreme trail riding. Fast rolling center knobs keep pedaling efficient while the razor-like cornering knobs grab the trail (and shake it up like a fuzzy bunny).

Jon Date Reviewed: February 9, 2013 Strengths: Hooks up on our dry hard pack gravely trails. Rolls smooth and fast on hardpack and pavement. Stiff side wall Weaknesses: Doesn't shed mud at all. I did not expect this to be a prime mud tire but it is almost worthless in anything sticky as it doesn't hook up to well and balls up with mud in a split second Bottom Line:

a Cross Country Rider Date Reviewed: August 10, 2012 Strengths: - So much grip under normal circumstances. Like the way they bite through angled corners. Never had a XC tire which I could trust on high speed taken trails. - Rolls also quite fast on tarmac and produces almost no sound at all. Weaknesses: - Far too heavy for an XC riding use (have the AM TCS 2.3). More according to what WTB says. - You feel the weight in climbs. Tire rolls heavy at low speeds in the dirt when climbing. They grap too much. Bottom Line:

Lastshot Date Reviewed: June 27, 2012 Strengths: Rails corners, even when cutting through fall debris (acorns and wet leaves), but when it comes time to hammer and climb hills, they grab hard!. Great braking traction Yet, On pavement tires roll Smooooth! This really helps when you want to rip some smooth hardpack singletrack, Stopped my Pinchflat problem! Weaknesses: My front feels as if it is a little more floatly and drifty in wet, It doesn't feel as "planted" through the rough stuff, Its not that it becomes unpredictable, Learning curve was steep, it took me a couple rides with a spill or two to adapt. And it was for the better! Bottom Line:

from Marin County, USA Date Reviewed: February 5, 2012 Strengths: I put one of these on the front of my bike. Wow, this thing really hooks in, their marketing is no joke.. It responds incredibly well to outside pedal pressure and it hooks enough to really pull your rear end through the turn, allowing you to tap the breaks and slide around corners in a big cloud of dust. Its fast rolling, climbs great and wants to go fast. I am using the new version (post 2010) TCS and its a solid tire. Rolls well, can be pointed at anything and just takes it. Did I mention it corners like its on rails? You feel the transition as a bit of an 'uh oh, here we go' and instead of going down you go THROUGH. Its fantastic. Beyond that it truly is an all mountain tire. You can hit anything with this. Big downs? No problem. Huge ruts? Ride the edges. Uh oh, high face end to the gully? Cleared it, no problem. Jump ahead, Look out! No problem, hits, sails and lands with confidence, pulling the bike into alignment as you make contact with the earth again. Really digging this tire. Combined with my Kenda Small Block 8 in the back its an awesome climbing setup that descends like a demon with enough control to not go over and enough drift to really have an amazing time. Weaknesses: Its heavy, like 2x heavy then a normal XC racing tire (800g-1000g, these things vary). Its big, it holds a lot of air. Its not a true 2.3, more like a 2.1 on steroids (not a negative for me but some may be surprised). Expensive! Like 2x any other similar tire expensive. I bought my at my LBS (I like to support them), probably could have done a lot better at Amazon or one of the online retailers but heck, its like making a $20 donation to the Small Local Bike Shop fund. I'm into that. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Annandale SP Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $75.00 Purchased At: Mt.

from hemet ca Date Reviewed: January 16, 2012 Strengths: love this tire now that i have ridden for a while, good cornering, tacky on rocks, soft cushy feel but fast go figure. Weaknesses: my previous review seemed a bit negative so i needed to clarify, the only situation i didnt like it was gravely dg(decomposed granite) like cover over harpack, i suppose any tire may have been sketchy or a more open tread might do better but this is a rare summer condition at only one spot i ride Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: any fast flowy or switch backy trail Duration Product Used: 6 months Purchased At: bicycle warehouse Similar Products Used: velociraptors, prowlers on front also good, kenda dart & smoke, vriedstein tiger rear.

from hemet california us Date Reviewed: November 15, 2011 Strengths: Soft feeling but fast rolling. Tread is very cool looking. IMO this tire design is probably best for optimal tacky soil because it has a little give, if you like to whip the rear a bit in turns and be a stylish racer type (which i do) this for you, it does what it was designed for, see wtb site and click on more info and go to development. Weaknesses: dont get me wrong I like this tire but depends how you ride, if your use to a super tacky in hard pack tire this may feel a bit sketchy, this tire can drift when pushing it in hardpack with sandy cover due to soft tips on side tread,but its not like its there and just gives out. not the first choice for some in hardpack loose cover, and from other reviews not in muddy conditions.
