WTBVelociRaptor-Comp
Wonderful tyres for training and ripping up your favourite trials. They are heavy and can stand a lot of abuse. I use them primarily on tar and have had the same pair for over two years now, and they still have tread left. They do not roll fast and the rear can slip out on wet hard pack. Overall they are amazing tyres and I would definitely buy them again.
not a single problem with these , they aint that good on big uphill , but wont ever loose grip on everything else
Good all around tires! Rear grips very well in various types of terrain, and front holds good in turns

The VelociRaptors are legendary mountain bike tires. They are quite possibly the most popular tires in the history of the sport. The front is renowned for its steering control, while the rear grabs the trail with predictable tenacity. After 13 years of diligent service, the VelociRaptors still shine as dependable front/rear specific tires.
