my general opinion is that this tires work great. pros: the threads are as a expected, well positioned and thick. they give you great traction uphill and in the corners. the price for a tubeless tire is great and the gum wall works awesome to seal small leaks of the rim. great XC tires!! cons: they not seem to be 2.0, i ridden always with 2.0 and this ones look a little more thinner, but the traction is not compromised. if you constantly ride in sand or rivers with rounded stones they tend to get stuck pretty easy. Final: if you are running on a low budget and want to spend on a tubeless tires for xc or xcm this are the ones for you!!
I needed tubeless tires to replace some old worn set. Really didn't want to spend the $100+ premium for import brands as I don't ride enough. These did the trick. They are slightly gray in color, and with the large Michelin logo, the set really sticks out. The tread pattern really sheds mud well, which is important for the Pacific Northwest. The contours of the tread pattern are rounder than other sets I've ridden, which is great for low resistance in the straights. But still had plenty of confidence in corners. Only gripe is the width, which is skinnier than I prefer. Not sure what to expect for a 2.0 as I've ridden mostly 2.1+. I'd have given it five stars, except for the width.
