This tire delivers GREAT front wheel traction! This tire digs in through the fluffy dirt, leaves and pine needles on my local NorCal trails, and still has great traction on hardpack. Havent used in the wet/mud, but lugs are spaced well enough that I think it would shed well. Was previously running a Weirwolf in the front, and while this 2.4 rated tire isnt quite as wide as the Weirwolf 2.3, the traction is just as good if not better, it rolls better and is lighter. I hate to use the marketing phrase "instills confidence", but that is exactly what this tire does for me. Ive been throwing my bike into the turns harder than ever before, laying it down and feeling like a pro! The tire I received was heavier than advertised (780+g), and like I said previously, does not measure out at 2.4. Running a Bronson AM 2.3 on the rear, and this tire appears to be the same width, maybe even a little narrower? It mounted up easily with an air compressor, but there were small pin holes in the sidewall, and I had to keep adding air and ride it around so the sealant would fill the holes. That being said, I still love this tire and its going to stay on my bike for quite a while. The Mutanoraptor front/Bronson AM rear combo has been good, but Im tempted to throw one of these on the rear too!
