Maxxis Ignitor 29" Tire

Love it

Got them to replace the OEM Ignitors that came with my bike. They're my first 29er tires and I love them. Rolls well. I originally thought I won't have much luck in the corners with such widely spaced knobs but they've been pretty predictable in the corners and loose stuff. Usually run them about 28-30psi with great results.

feels narrower then my other 2.1 26 tires.

Pros: Decent light, rolls nicely, not $100.

Cons: wears out a bit quick in the rear but I don't mind the performance tradeoff

Great all around front tire

Great weight, durable, grippy, and works every time with stans for tubeless setups. Great all around tire that hooks up well in a majority of trail surfaces. Occasionally loos on hard pack where a shorter lug might be better (like Karma, Crow, etc)

Pros: Great tread life and good tubeless conversion tire

Cons: Not much.

Perfect rear tired when in need of traction.

IMO, this is one of the best rear tires in the tricky "loose over hard" grounds. Tall knobs dig in very well. Decent rolling speed.

Have not tried as a front tire since I like something a bit wider up front.

Pros: Light weight
Traction
Tall knobs
Rolling resistance

Cons: Not available in 2.2-2.4 width!

Great front tire, it makes a good compromise between grip and rolling resistance. It much more durable than other tires out there and rolls pretty darn good.

Pros: Light weight, durability, price, wears like iron.

Cons: Grip on wet rocks and roots
