I love these tires! I used these on my WR450 around Moab, then on my 500EXC in the rear doing White Rim in Canyonlands NP as well as random local Colorado rides. I've used Tubliss in the rear and heavy duty tubes in the front.And for the real test I put a fresh set on and rode from San Diego to La Paz (Baja) 1440 miles of rock, sand, road and cactus spines with no issues. Decent traction and great protection. I ran the Tubliss system in the rear. I tried it in the front but created a slow leak by damaging the bead because the fronts are super hard to put on. So I put an ultra tube up front and it worked great. No leaks or flats front or rear which is a good thing because the fronts are harder to change than other tires I've tried. These don't "float" in the desert dust as well as some tires but once I rode faster (35mph+) it floated well enough. I like these for mean desert conditions, but I might go with a more flexible sidewall with Mousse inserts for my local colorado riding in the future
