great tire, superb grip on hardpack, predictable and controllable slide, handles softer ground well. although it is not perfect on large diameter gravel, the slide remains easily controllable. Very low rolling resistance, great on the road to and from the trails as well as on them. Outstanding on the pump track and Dirt Jumps, without sacrificing grip on the trails.

—
The Graffiti UK (Ultimate Kombat) is WTB’s premier dirt jumping tire. The aggressive UK uses large, flat blocks of tread for superb traction on the hardpack surfaces of dirt jumps and terrain parks. Although this tire shines in the dirt, the knobs are firm enough to rail urban environments as well.
