Okay, so I thought I'd give these tires (or rather brand) a go as well, but I opted for lighter less aggressive ones. **I chose the "Steady" model in the "Light" casing.** Approximate weight listed as being 850 grams for the 29x2.4" size. Actual measured weight of both tires were 1020 grams each. So that's **170 grams more than advertised per tire,** and I'm pretty bummed about that. I got both tires mounted to new Hunt trail wide wheels. It wasn't easy, but I got them inflated with just a floor pump. I also used the new Silca tubeless sealant and I put 5oz in each tire per their recommendation. I won't get to ride these for another week or two because they are going on a new hardtail build that's waiting on a seatpost.
Aside from the weights being pretty far off, I measured the casing at 2.5" and the widest spot of the largest knobs at 2.4". Other parts of the knobs are more like 2.35". So for me the size seems pretty accurate.
I'll post some ride feedback when I've had a chance to ride them, but I'm not much or a tire reviewer so I'm not sure if anybody should care. I don't like tires without transition knobs.
P.S. Their website is where the 850 gram weight is listed. The actual tire packaging said Approx 950 grams. Don't like that they don't have these details correct. In either case, the tires are heavier than they are supposed to be...
