American ClassicMountain Bike Tire - Tectonite, 27.5x2.5, 29x2.5

Using these on an ebike so weight doesn’t matter. Very strong build and aggressive tread design. Haven’t had a chance to mount them on a rim yet so can’t speak to that or ground performance. The stiffness of the sidewalls might make mounting a bit challenging. The knobs feel quite flexible/supple. Can’t speak to wear durability. Again strong beefy build aggressive tread and moderate diameter not fat not skinny. Very fair price considering the cost of competition brands.

Running these on an Ibis Ripmo and I can say that after riding rocks, roots, loam, jumps, drops and hardpack these are the best tires I have run in a while. Took a chance and it worked out well. After about a month of riding these I can say that they handle great, are fine for true enduro riding and grip very well. I have adjusted pressure between 17 - 22 PSI depending on the terrain and speed at which we are riding at. Not the lightest tire but if you are using these as intended then they are just fine for what they are. Will buy again. I ran this up front and the Vulcanite in the rear. Great combo

They look really good to ride but they are super hard to put on i had the return them

Mounted easily to DT Swiss XM481 rims, and sealed perfectly the first try. On the trail, it seems very composed at high speeds, and it's very trustable leaning in hard cornering on flat ground. Way better than the clapped-out Minion DHF that it replaced, which likely means it's at least as good as a new Minion, but at a much lower cost. I'll be buying these tires rather than Maxxis from now on.

I would have given these tires a 4.5 star as their performance on the bike trails is outstanding however I can’t for one glaring reason. These tires are almost impossible to install on a normal rim. I’ve been working on mountain and road bikes for many years and there have been tires that were tight on the rim but these go far beyond that. If you manage to install them the inner bead (deflated) is so tight the rest of the tire is distorted like a pretzel until you put some air in them. I’ve actually never seen anything like this. You WILL not be able to pull this tire on the bike trail if needed, so plan on walking if it goes flat. The manufacturer needs to make the necessary adjustments in production to correct this problem because it completely ruins the reputation of what is otherwise an outstanding Mountain bike tire.EDIT: Today coming back from a 10 mile MTB ride and this happened (see pic) about 1/8 mile from my house. I was on pavement in granny gear climbing a hill and BANG! The entire right bead exploded out of the rim all the way around. Thank God I was going slow at the time. (Front) - Tire was at 18-20 PSI before doing this. You can see from the picture the entire right bead is flared out after blowing off the rim. I’m running Stands tubeless rims with 4 oz of Stans tire sealer. After examining the rim and tire there is no damage other than the new shape of the tire, so this is a total mystery to me. Tire had about 150 miles on it before this incident occurred.

I’ve ridden these tires well over 100 miles on the rockiest AZ trails. Amazing grip, soft compound and half the price of maxxis. These have blown me away…

Just a overall good tire and I've had maxxis, schwable, wtb, michelin before. I bought the enduro version and I wish they came out with the trail casing with the 3 compounds instead of two. Very predictable at the limit, braking traction is good, corning is good, rolls decent, excellent price, can't comment on sidewall protection but no punctures yet. I needed to use my air compressor to seat the tire, tire has slight wobble but not a deal breaker most tires have this. Size is a little smaller than what is advertised, the pictures were taken with a 30mm inner width and tire pressure is at 25 psi.

Not only the sidewalls are thick this tire is grippy and wide true 2.5tires on wide rims. Value for the money and performance. The nobs are tall and the texture are good looking
