Specialized Ground Control tyres

Just BTW if it says '2bliss' that means tubeless ready in Spez talk... but it does not mean UST or TCS which are more robust.

I have not had any leaks or sidewall weeping that others have mentioned.

I've had Racing Ralphs, Black Panther, Maxxis Ardent and Im currently on the GC 2.3 front and 2.1 rear. Its a great tire that grips on stone terrain as well as hardpack terrian and the normal trails around Jhb. Its light compared to the Maxxis and offers the same grip. The only downside is that it offers zero grip in muddy conditions. If anyone rode the Garden Trial Park on the 28th of December last year, you'll know what I mean.

i.m.h.o the GC casings are crap, the rounded profile makes it feel like you are riding on a pool noodle, and on wet rootie bits they don't stick nada.

 

spaz mtb tires are not great, there are so many better options...

 

you DONT have to ride on a spaz, wear spaz shoes, wear spaz clothers, have a spaz water bottle and ride on spaz tires... pick a few, really...

2.3 Ground control - control on the front and 2.0 Fast trak - control on the rear. Happy so far. Replaced the S-Works Fast trak on the front with the GC for grip and sidewall protection reasons.
