Primarily used on the rear in the desert Southwest, but I have used it on trails in and around the Denver area in the past with very good results. Good all around tire for rear use, and would be good for front use for a faster (race) type setup. Seals up well tubeless using stans sealant with Arch and 355 rims. Cannot comment on other tubeless conversion. Wears well, climbs rock and off camber well, fast roller. The volume is a true 2.1. This tire corners much better than it's rolling resistance would indicate. It's only real limitation is when it gets real loose. While it holds it's own in the loose on the rear, you will have to reign it in a bit on the front. I prefer to pair it up with a bigger front tire for general riding (like the Panaracer Rampage), and to run it at both ends for race applications. The only tires I have found out there that roll faster give all of the speed up in the corners, and typically have fragile side walls. While this is not a mud tire, it does wet well enough to get by.
Bottom line, I have tried many other tires for rear use and keep returning to the Crossmark.
Other product tried include: Maxxis Ignitor, Specialized Captain 2.2, Specialized Eskar 2.3, Geax AKA, Geax Saguaro, Kenda Smallblock 8, Kenda Karma 2.2, WTB Weirwolf 2.4, and WTB Exiwolf 2.3.
