(updated 04/22/11) model: Ignitor Exception Casting 2.1, TPI 120.
Pros
Good grip, even in Hard/Loose covered with Leaves and snow. Rolls much better than other brand. Relatively light.
Cons
Not true to size, 2.1 is more like a 1.95.
Review
I switched to these from Nevegals. I like the Nevegals bite, but hated the rolling resistance. I just rode these in loose/hardpack covered with snow, and I never felt as though they were going to slide out from under me, good bite in the corners, fast roll. Run the 2.1 as the front at 40 psi with WTB Exiwolf 19.5 in Rear. 2.1 is a little on the skinny side, so I may go with 2.3 next time.
Pros
Roll fast, good grip, light tread pattern
Cons
none
Review
I ride in mixed conditions and find that these tires suit me very well. They are not the best at anything in particular but overall do a lot of things very well. I will buy again.

model: Ignitor Exception Casting 2.1, TPI 120.
Pros
Roll great in a straight line.
Cons
Very little cornering grip. The treads get packed with dirt quickly and your basically riding a slick.
Review
At a glance these tires look like a great XC tire with a rounded profile and medium knobs. They do roll fast, however, they pack up with dirt and lose grip on anything other than hardpack. It feels like your riding a slick tire in the wet all of the time. Nice for drifting the back wheel though. I got rid of these tires for small block eights, which dont look as grippy, but always seem to handle so much better.
Pros
Grippy, rolls well on a variety of surfaces.
Cons
Not great in wet or really hard conditions, narrow (not a true 2.35)
Review
Decent tires, came on my Dawg. Switched to Nevegals, but goign for Mutanoraptors or Ardents next.
Pros
grippy light and durable
Cons
pinch flats with anything under 35 psi. I weigh 175 lbs and run 35/40 F/R.
Bumpy and slow on pavement. What do you expect from an off road tire?

Review
I ride lots of loose dirt and rocks uphill and downhill.
These are the grippiest tires I have ridden and are even grippier than the Panaracer Fire XC Pro.
The recommended direction orients the front and rear the same. I mounted the rear backwards (much like Panaracers) to help uphill traction. Downhill braking traction is still excellent.

Pros
Excellent grip, this tire folds.
Cons
None
Review
I paid $50 for this tire at my LBS. It's durable casing is enough for downhill, yet light enough to climb. The treads seem to be wearing at a reasonable rate too. So the tire should last for a good amount of time.
Pros
These tires girp amazingly, even on sandy switchbacks. The tread also wears very slowly, even if you ride on the road alot with them.
Cons
They don't roll the best, and when you make sharp turns on pavement, you can feel the side knobbies.
Review
If you want a light, strong, gripping tire, then this is for you. This is the tire for Colorado Front Range in my book.
