Strength:
Light. Grip looks good.
Weakness:
Exoensive! Sidewalls extremely thin and cut easily. Hard to seat for tubeless. Once seated the sidewall leaks. Bought 2 of these tires. The first got a cut in the sidewall on the first ride and it wasn't particularly rocky. The second tire just kept leaking from the sidewall. Save your money and buy a nice Specialized or WTB tire. |

Strength:
Light, superlight
Weakness:
Weak sidewall, cost First of all, they did not seat very good at mounting time. I have stans no tube arch ex trail rims with chris king hubs. Still did not seal with liquid for at lease 2 hrs after keeping air in it. Finally, I get to ride on them. Looked and felt really fast and supple on the up hill but when the hill turned down, it took about 200 yards of a little pounding on rock and roots and the bead started to leak. So, pumped it up and on I go, not but a 100 yard down the trail it does it again, and again, and again, and again, does not matter on how much or how little air it sucks. My buddies made me the laughing stock of the day. Not a good day. These are made for 120 lbs people and less. Should have a weight limit. |

Strength:
Light
Weakness:
Easy puncture. durability My first ride on these tires and I had a flat. When I replace the tire, there were 4 thorns in it. The other tire had a thorn in it too but luckily my sealant worked to keep that tire from going flat. The tires seem light but have few nobbies and little tread so they won't last long. |

Strength:
Awesome, confidence inspiring grip! LIGHT! Fast Rolling. Good looking tire. You can run these at 23-25lbs with no issues.
Weakness:
Hard to get to seal when setting up tubeless (need a GOOD air compressor). Wear quickly. They have a tendancy to puncture once in a while (just keep lots of juice in them). Buy these tires, they will make you ride faster. Your corners will be smoother, less skidding and they have some nice volume cush to them (which is great for us Hardtailers).

Strength:
Phenomenal grip in dry hardpack, climbs well, corners like on on rails, lighter and side knobs grippier than anything previous. Supple, confidence inspiring. Haven't been in sand or mud yet.
Weakness:
Cost? I hope these last longer than the previous reviewer. I replaced F/R WTB Wierwolf 2.55 with the 2.40 version of these and got a wider tire and still lost 1/2 pound of unsprung weight on my bike which made it feel incredibly light. Listed as 530 grs on the box but these were 580 and 540. More grip than Nevegals and roll faster. Slightly slower on pavement than the Wiers. Sealed up Stans on a halo rim easier than any other tire, a few pin holes in the sidewalls that sealed no problem..

Strength:
terrific in on wet rocks and roots, fast rolling
Weakness:
tread wears off after just a couple months, easy to puncture These tires were AWESOME...... for about 2 months. After that, the knobs were wearing right down even with the rest of the tread they were attached to. I pierced a large hole in the rear tire after landing on a pile of flat rocks that I've never had issues with before, also. Luckily Stan's sealant sealed it up and it never leaked, but it was not the most confidence inspiring event.
