WTB Bronson AM TCS Tire
This widely spaced linked tread tire takes charge in a broad range of conditions from dry hard pack to mud. The Bronson's ramped center knobs roll fast while square-edged side blocks bite tenaciously at lean angles. An open tread pattern makes quick work of muck as low rotational weights keep you rolling faster. Conquer all seasons and conditions, ride Bronsons.

Good tire. But honestly, WTB doesnt produce junk, so I would expect nothing less. Running on the rear, has great traction on hardpack and loose over hardpack NorCal trails. Im a bigger guy, and so far havent run it less than 38psi on the trails. The tire I received was heavier than advertised (800+g), but its not too big of an issue. Seated easily with an air compressor, but there were a few small pin holes in the sidewall. Had to air up a couple times after the bead seated and ride them for a bit so the sealant would fill the holes. Ive run Nevegal 2.1, and Maxxis Ardent 2.25, all in the rear on the same bike, on the same trails. I like the tire much better than the Nevegal, and has better traction than the Ardent, but the Ardent seemed to roll a little better. Ive put quite a few miles on it so far, but still not enough to judge the tread life. With the few minor issues I experienced, I would still recommend this tire. If my tire hit the claimed 690g weight, it would have been a 5-star review ;)
