Like a boss is a term that gets thrown around a lot. Rest assured, WTB's Trail Boss is the real deal with tight tread spacing for high speed, and tall, blocky knobs that really dig in when you grab the brakes. A rounded profile and staggered, supported, siped side knobs keep you on your line as the trail loses its camber or as you push into a corner. Plus, WTB's TCS tires deliver the ride benefits of tubeless tires with the reduced weight of a non-UST tire, so you get the best of both worlds. There's a new boss in town.

Like its namesake, WTB's Wolverine 29 packs a fierce bite in a slight profile. This fast-rolling tire’s moderately-spaced center knobs cling to hardpack and devour steep climbs while the angled outer knobs let you shred corners and tackle dicey descents with confidence.

If you're ever in the mood to lay down thick rubber strips at the start line then light it up with the Surly Black Floyd. Designed to run higher pressure on hardpack or pavement, this tire allows you to cover some distance quickly. The low profile bricks making up the tread give great grip on hard surfaces and minimize rolling resistance.

When you're out on a ride the last thing you want is to be limited by your tires in any way. Surly's ExtraTerrestrial tires were designed to let you ride without limits by following a simple tenet for tire design: make 'em high-volume and kick-ass. The ExtraTerrestrial tire was meant to serve as a heavy-duty off road touring tire that shines on hard pack surfaces. It uses a nylon breaker in the sidewalls for cut protection, a molded pattern for anti-cut propagation, and a Kevlar cap under the tread to protect against flats. The ET tire uses a distinctly directional tread pattern and its width yields more traction than you might expect from a tire with such little rolling resistance. The tread is low profile with a file tread in between blocks. The ExtraTerrestrial tire has enough width and traction for the soft stuff and won't bog you down on smooth or hard surfaces. It's made to be durable and versatile and is at home on tour or on the trail. - Bead Seat Diameter: 559mm - Casing: 60tpi, tubeless-ready bead (928g)
