I'm 3 rides in on a pair of the trsr. Coming from years of riding 2.5 minion dhf (front and rear) in both dh and exo casings. Most recent tires were dhr2 in 2.4 with exo casing max terra. I have no experience with the previous e13 tires. Set up tubeless in 29x2.35. These trsr tires have ridiculous grip but are noticeably slower rolling than the maxxis tires I'm coming off. The ride is damp compared to the maxxis exo casing. Cornering grip is the best I've experienced. They are a bit vague at moderate lean angles but dig really hard when leaned over aggressively. Will definitely be swapping the rear out for something faster for late spring and summer but the excellent grip seems like a worthy trade off this time of year. I should also note that the tires come up very square (mounted on e13 trs+ rims, 30mm).
I can attest to the slower rolling. I am also running the TRSr in the front and rear. Now that the rear has worn some it is rolling a bit faster but still not minion quick. That being said I just got a TRS+ for the rear and the center knobs are noticeably firmer than the TRSr so it should be a faster rolling, longer wearing tire. So far Im impressed with the cost and performance and will be a repeat customer. As for the grip, holy s**t they stick on roots.
