On a cost to performance ratio Specialized own the 2.8" plus tyre market with the Butcher Grid.
The only plus tyre to come in a 42 durometer compound (over a 70 base for support), essentially the same tread pattern as the DHF and the GRID sidewall for a little more support and less side wall punctures/ slashes, 1010 grams and all for $20 cheaper than the Maxxis (most of the time). As much as I dislike promoting anything from the Big S they have hit the nail on the head with this tyre.
