WTB Weirwolf 2.55 LT Tire

Large transitional openings between knobs channel soil outward, enhancing traction as progressive staggered outside knobs provide maximum support in leans and corners.

from Fruita Date Reviewed: February 1, 2012 Strengths: Great rear tire. Rolls fast for its size and hooks up well in the rocky, sandy, occasional hardpack, light to medium snow, and oh yes slickrock. I felt the weight was never an issue because of the increased traction. Never tore a sidewall in a full season of riding in Fruita, Grand Junction, and Moab. No problems with tubeless setup. Weaknesses: No longer in production. Got the new 2.5 and it is almost as good. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Whatever is dry Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $50.00 Purchased At: Grassroots Cycle Similar Products Used: WTB, Conti, Maxxis, Bontrager Bike Setup: Turner Sultan full xx w/ easton Haven wheels

from Austin, TX Date Reviewed: February 22, 2011 Strengths: Sticks to just about anything, rolls smooth, creates confidence in the corners, absorbs the large rocks and roots, fast and agile. Weaknesses: Size--even though this could be a strength, on your cross country bike it might be a little too large in the rear. I can tell if my rear wheel gets out of whack I will be dealing with some rubbing, but don't be scared of the larger size. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Greenbelt Duration Product Used: Tested or demo'ed only Price Paid: $25.00 Purchased At: eBay Similar Products Used: Nevegal, S-Works stock tires, Larsen TT, Monorails, Schwable Rocket Ron Bike Setup: S-Works Epic, Thompson stem and post, DT Swiss Wheelset, SRAM XO.

from Summit, NJ Date Reviewed: November 21, 2009 Strengths: This is the best high-volume tire I have found. Volume is critical if you suffer thru east coast trails (rocks and roots) and don't have or are unwilling to carry full suspension. Not very heavy considering size. Low Tread (LT) more than adequate. Weaknesses: Fit. Gotta make sure it will fit thru your dropouts. 26x2.55 fits thru the rear of my GT avalanche, but only by MM. I get rubs on the frame if I get out of true. Amazing how fast dirt and rubber can cut aluminum. Also, tire pressure. Wide shoes like these should be run at lower pressure. I run about 25 lbs. YMMV Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Leris Morris/round Valley Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $45.00 Purchased At: various Similar Products Used: Other wide tires. Don't confuse lot's of width with konbs and such with tru volume. Only the volume smooths terrain. At then end of the day, you actually don't need much texture on your tire. (try riding with wide slicks... it's not that bad if it's dry) Bike Setup: Rigid. GT Avalanche. Now Salasa Big Mama super plush (FS + 29/2.55)

from San Jose, Ca. USA Date Reviewed: June 7, 2009 Strengths: Huge volume tire. It's the poor man's suspension. These tires came on a rigid 29er I bought 2nd hand and I love how they run at low pressure (25 psi). Weaknesses: I call this tire "the magic goat head location device". I've had more flats than I can count. They're thin walled and HUGE so they puncture if you look at them a little too hard. They roll fast and they grip the trail more than you'd think for the low profile. If you've got a rigid fork, there's no better front tire out there. But you can play around with the rear tire. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 6 months Purchased At: On 2nd hand bike Similar Products Used: Only big (and by that I mean HUGE) 29er tires I've ever seen. There's really nothing to compare them to. Bike Setup: 1x1 (36x19) on a rigid steel 29er
