This tire is surefooted and wont let ya down. It climbs well in a back tire ser up, I just love my high roller to much to give it up.
But the Weirwolf is a great tire. I am sold!!!!!!!!!!
Product Used For: 6 Months
Product Strengths:This tire impressed me from the word go. I typically run Maxxis high rollers, kenda nevegals, or maxxis ignitors. Jenson had a sale on these so I bought 2, and I am in love.
Product Weaknesses:I run this as a primary front tire, no matter the conditions this thing hooks up in the turns. I run my high roller on the rear. I wasn't real pleased with the tire as a rear tire, but I am comparing it to a high roller. But as a front tire I will never run anything other than this Weirwolf.
My Bike:I ride a Giant Reign II...... (Best bike ever made)

I have this as my front tire. I run a 2.1 high-roller in the rear, I am eager to mount the Weirwolf in the rear to see if it climbs as well as it corners as it does on my front.
Product Used For: 3 Months
Product Strengths:This tire holds extremely well on high speed cornering, especially on loose over hardpack, and soft soil. I replaced my Kenda blue groove with this, and i am happy with that choice.
Product Weaknesses:I havent found any yet.

Will stick with tire until i hear of something better and hope the quarter inch tear thing was a fluke.
Product Used For: 6 Months
Product Strengths:Well I'm more of an all mountain rider that loves steep technical climbs and with every pedal you can feel this tire digging in. this tire has amazing cornering and thats what i love about it the most. I run tubeless and at 20-30psi this tire kicks. for the all day xc ride i run 45psi and they roll great. was riding the maxxis rancharo, and as they are fast rollers the braking sucked big time. this wtb has restored faith in braking and cornering.
Product Weaknesses:second ride i got a quarter inch tear so its useless with tubeless, but i loved the traction so much i bought another.
also one little draw back is the knobby spacing. the knobby grip little rocks and fling them at your frame. ping..ping,ping,pingping....ping. if your worried about your paint job well...
My Bike:Klein Palomino XX ,scram X.O , Chris King, Mavic, Hayes,RS Revelation and other bits

This is by far the best overall tire that I've ever run. Awesome on hardpack, good in sand and mud. Pretty good on the road too, but they wear quickly.
Basically, if you can keep the front end up and point straight, these tires will find their way.
Product Used For: 1 Year
Product Strengths:Performs well in varied terrain.

My overall experience with these tires has been great. They have done everything I expected of them. Lightweight,tough,grippy,fairly fast. I always ran my rear direction the same as the front(the intended direction) and never had any issues with grip climbing or on wet rocks,roots. Others say to run the rear tire backwards for greater traction climbing and all but I think that creates a rolling resistance issue and I believe it will hurt high speed cornering traction. I say rely on technique to climb and jump rocks and roots or pick a better line or hit it as fast as you can to find out how durable you and your tires are. Enough said, there are alot of good tires out their and WTB makes quite a few of them but for now I'm gonna try the Maxxis Crossmark and roll a little faster.
Product Used For: 6 Months
Product Strengths:The 2.1 has excellent tread depth,spacing and gnarly knobs that bite and dig not rollover. Rolls surprisingly fast to be such an aggressive pattern. I get away with running 28-30psi with this tire and no pinch flats.(I weigh 165) Most tires with casings light enough to allow that much volume and still only weigh 545g tend to feel mushy or like you are about to rim-ride on that kinda air. I got alot faster when I mounted these puppies. They are as close to the "Do It All" as I have ever seen and yes I'm a tire junkie. Some say they suck on hardpack or loose over but how many tires have you ever been on that you can get completely sideways doing 18mph on loose over and they always recover? Beginners can benefit highly from this tire,they are confidence builders for sure and won't let you down when it get's hairy!!!
Product Weaknesses:The biggest weakness I see is they have never pinch flatted or a sidewall ripped out on me and left me walking. All my other tires have done that. Darn WTB's
My Bike:GFisher Tass Disc GS, Fox 32 F100 RLC, fully equipped with XTR...and man she will fly
