Review: Tubeless works well with these - These are great tires. They grip really well on dirt and gravel as well dry and wet pavement. They also have pretty low rolling resistance on pavement. I have these on front and back, setup tubeless. They work quite well as tubeless tires. I was using the tires that came with the bike and the difference is huge. Probably the single best upgrade I have done for my Talon. One thing you want to do before doing a tubeless setup with these is to unfold them and let them sit laying on there sides before mounting them. Let the crease relax so the bead doesn't want to pull away from the rim. I did this with the second tire and it popped much easier than just pulling them out of the package and trying to mount them. update: I've had these mounted for a few weeks now. The tubeless setup holds air better than the tubes that were in place before. The back tire is a ghetto conversion and the front is a standard conversion. The ghetto conversion cost about a third of the official conversion. Tubeless for mountain bikes is the way to go. update: I've been on some technical single track with these now. The side knobs really improve grip in high speed turns in sand over hard pack. update: Managed to rip the casing on some really rough trails. LBS said they had never seen this before on this tire so lucky me. Was immediately replaced by the manufacturer. So symptoms were, really wobbly tread and tire burping while going up steep inclines. Basically the tire couldn't hold its shape.
Review: Quality - Very simply a high quality mountain bike tire. Good traction and durability in the Arizona desert.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this can fit to 27.5 rim?**
A: No, the tire I purchased was for a 29 inch. Rim, I have attached the name and website where you may find your wheel size. 
Maxxis Grifter Wire Single Compound Tyre.   This is a good tire for riding solid surfaces.

**Q: Would this tire work on a mountain bike that came with 29 x 2.3 stock tires?**
A: Probably. There isn’t much tread on the sides so they’re a little narrower than off-road mountain bike tires. Look to see how much room you have on each side of your stock tires. You only need about an 1/8 of an inch on each side

**Q: What size inner tube should I use for these 29x2.5 tires?**
A: I used these: Continental New 2 Pack 26", 27.5", 29" Presta Valve MTB Bike Inner Tubes - Bulk in 29x1.75-2.5

**Q: Are they puncture resistant or reinforced?**
A: I couldn’t answer your question, check with manufacturer. I personally haven’t had an issue with getting flats.
