awesome cheap rear tire, run pretty low pressure and have only had one pinch and this is my second stout. WTB has underestimated this tread pattern in my mind. I got it as a free tire, and went out and bought my second. I run this in the rear with a bronson in the front. Awesome setup. A little heavy, but what wire bead tire isnt?

The Stout thrives in adverse conditions. The staggered square blocks provide an efficient centerline while the wide-open spacing allows the tread to pierce the trail when carving turns or braking. The softer, looser and rougher the terrain, the better the Stout performs with its exceptional stability and easy-lean transitions. The well-supported blocks stay firm on hardpack and asphalt too, but this tire performs best on rugged All Mountain terrain.
