@dasilvarsa I did rotate them, I quite like Icon's too when I eventually buy a set I'll opt for a 2.3 for the front and 2.25 for the rear i find 2.2 just a little too narrow.

I bought a new hard tail that came with a set of non tubeless Maxxis Icon 2.20 tyres which they are honestly quite crappy but I wanted to see just how far I could ride with them. I did a tubeless set up and off I went. To cut a long story sort I did 7500km mainly gravel riding which included a few races, they are horrendous for technical type riding but for XC type riding they work well I did get the odd hole here and there but nothing that a plug and a bomb couldn't sort out. A friend of mine gave me another set that came of he's brand new bike and I've already installed them... ready for round two.

In December 2019 I bought my Titan cypher rs expert carbon I couldn't find any bike at that price point that gave me the same value and it came with a 5 year warranty on the frame that was transferable to the new owner if I sold it at a later stage and none of the other bike manufacturers offered that. I can't justify paying more than 50k for a "BICYCLE" I've done multiple races and rides with my bike and I've had zero issues, I've raced with and ridden with guys that have the fancy Sworks, Look ,Santa cruz's etc. and they haven't had an superior advantage over me the biggest difference on any bike is the abilities and fitness of the person that rides it. Personally i think we as cyclists get shafted with anything bike related ...parts from entry level to the best of the best are horrendously expensive and often don't justify the cost when compared to say a motorbike or a motorcar and those cost way more in terms of RD to develop and manufacture. I'm not trying piss anyone off just giving my two cents worth.

I've been mountain biking for about 5 years now and Tyre juice is all i use works like a charm absolutely no issues.
