When Spec updated their rubber compound I was excited to try because I often spin out on wet rocky/rooty terrain. Tried it (Butcher/Purg). I thought that it was the best I could get so I put up with it. Then I tried a dhr2. I could not believe how much better my traction was. I was running dhr2's front and back, but replaced the front with an Assegai.
I personally don't care about the brand name. Just give me performance. And for out here on the Shore and in Squamish I've tried Kenda's, Specialized, WTB's and Maxxis. Nothing has performed as well as my dhr2/Assegai.
