they come stock with a 63 degree HTA

@gregnangatang: that will inevitably be the name of the e-bike version, i'm sure.

I'm happy to see that they've finally stopped their fake outrage over plus tire weights, considering most plus tires are nearly same weight as their 29er cousins. I don't know about acceleration times vs rolling resistance. Lots of very unscientific roll down tests and just basic trail riding have proven that plus tires aren't slower than 29er, and sometimes can be faster. For the record: Maxxis Recon 27.5x2.8: 120tpi, 3CT/EXO/TR - 861g Maxxis Recon 29x2.4WT: 60tpi, 3CT/EXO/TR - 840g Still not convinced about the first half of this sentence "We noticed exactly what you’d think we’d notice about the big meats—they’re a bit slower to accelerate, but offer a ton more traction than standard tires.", considering a 29er version would have the same tread pattern but also be slightly taller. I don't think plus is a great choice for FS bikes because you'll end up fighting the rubber trying to tune in rebound on big hits.

@MTBrent: unfortunately, most people won't touch it because it says SR Suntour on it, and people associate SR with $200 bikes and low quality.

Terrene Chunk or a HR2 2.8/3.0 would be great for mud.

@tkrug: CDO*

Actual word in the dictionary, pronounced like "Tureen" Terrene təˈrēn,ˈteˌrēn adjective, archaic : of or like earth; earthy. : occurring on or inhabiting dry land. : of the world; secular rather than spiritual. https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/terrene

@skylerd: I agree. Also used the Chunk (light add tough) and McFly tough. None of the tires gave me problems when mounted on i38, i45, or i50 rims widths. They were all mounted by hand and with a standard bike pump. None of them took more than 30 sec to seat. Now, his experience is real and it sucks. Some rims and tires are less compatible together than others, even if both are quality items. Just how it is sometimes.
