Well I have't seen anyone locally riding these but the price was right ($62 to my door for two tires!)
26 X 2.4 50/42a for the front
26 X 2.4 50a for the back
Will report back once I have some time on them!

For the money they are great! To be honest they are very good at "normal" tyre prices.

I have been running trail extreme version on the front of my chromag in winter here in the UK.

They are made by Maxxis and they have EXO sidewalls, they aren't "tubeless ready" but they go up and stay up tubeless.

They do a 2.25 tyre called the Smorgasbord which is similarly good on the rear but lacks the cornering lugs of the Chunky Monkey.

I've been looking at these for awhile. Please share a ride report.

Curious as to where you ordered them from. Planet X in the US was going to charge ridiculous shipping fees.

I ran the trail extreme front and back for a season. I thought they were ok, not great. When it was wet it felt like there wasn't much grip. I ended up switching to Specialized Purgatory and Butcher Grid combo and haven't looked back, even with a $90 price difference.

When I ordered them I got them from the planetx UK website, it was cheaper to ship from there than the US site.

First ride impressions seem ok. Kind of wishing I would have put a "trail extreme" on the back instead of the "Enduro". Seems like it will be a little slick in any moisture.

Time will tell.
