I ride them tubeless with Stan's ZTR Olympic on DT190's. Front at 22 psi rear at 25 psi or so. I am 145lbs. Awesome tire so long as no mud or wet leaves. Way more grip that you ever expected. Run Stan's or you will flat because they are thin.

No question - you want to win! Is the track drying out? Can you risk a puncture? Is your technical riding skill excellent? OK - you are ready for Furious Fred. Never before has there been a MTB tire that ran so fast. We re-wrote the technical handbook: Tread design optimized for speed, minimal material, 127-epi-Evo-carcass, triple compound. And for maximum off-road speed 2.25 wide!
Warning! To anyone who wants everything. Furious Fred is the fastest MTB tire - Ever! But be aware: It is not an allrounder. Grip is limited and risk of puncturing is high.
