Pros
keeps me glued to the trail
Cons
nothing so far -- they might be a bit heavy, but I'm not too concerned about that.
Review
I replaced my Velociraptors with these. I think even though I still had some tread left on the Velos, they were losing their "stickiness". I got a great deal on SAC and put these on less than a month ago. I've ridden three different trail systems and some private (and muddy!) land. These things held up well under all conditions. Unlike one of the previous reviews, I find them to have an acceptable amount of side knobbies for gripping in the turns, and haven't had any real problems yet. Recommended.
Pros
Great pedaling and braking traction. High volume tires help smooth out the ride.
Good tread life.
Good tread life.
Cons
No side/cornering knobs.
Under hard cornering the tires lose their grip and slide out. I ran mine rear only so only my rear tire skidded under hard cornering. A rear tire losing traction can be controlled but a front tire sliding out from under you and you're on your face.

Review
These tires have great traction... while riding in a straight line! I liked mine for a while, then got tired of losing cornering traction and upgraded to Nevegals. that was the best part decision I've ever made.
Pros
I reallly love the way these tires feel for trail riding.They have soo much traction and will go anywhere.I can litterally feel the bite they have while I'm riding and they feel really stable while making offbalence turns,the front tire lets me know what's going on even when traction is lost.And I can get them is larger sizes like the 2.4's I'm running right now.
Cons
The rear tire is wearing pretty fast,it looks so much more worn than the front tire.And I cant find them in the store anymore and have to order to get more of them.
Review
The WTB tires come in so many sizes and tread patterns there hard to ignore,the traction and performance is what really impressed me,and they look cool on my bike.I had a female rider tell me one day how good my tires looked and that confirms all the other people I caught looking at my bike that they thought the same thing.hahahahaha.I use em for trail and a little bit of downhill and they work great for me,I would recomend these tires to anyone for the same reason.
Pros
What a great tire and almost as great as the WTB VelociRaptors. These are all around tires that stick, grip, hold in all terrain conditions.
Cons
None
Review
For anyone that enjoys true MTB bliss
