About this deal
Three compounds provide optimal levels of traction, support and durability. A base of high durometer rubber supports the entire tread and transitions into the knobs to prevent folding or squirming. Medium stiffness center knobs cap the base layer to provide traction and durability without sacrificing rolling efficiency, while soft compound side knobs deliver maximum grip and slow rebound for increased cornering traction. If your tubeless tires are losing substantial pressure within a few minutes or hours, you’re likely dealing with damaged tubeless tape or a loose tubeless valve stem. Although many aggressive riders, as well as those living in wet climates, prefer High Grip on the rear as well to provide ultimate traction in exchange for a bit more rolling resistance.
SAVE Micro-Suspension: Delivers a smoother, more controlled ride thanks to strategically engineered flex zones built into the frame's rear triangle. Placing sealant on both sides of the tire bead can aid in installation by serving as a lubricant between the rim and tire interface.
For example, our Exposure 30 tire has a tire section width of 30mm on a 19mm inner rim width, however it has a tire section width of 32mm on a 23mm inner rim width.
Take all of these with a few grains of salt and adjust to your riding style, the terrain you ride, and your weight. Slightly firmer knobs hold their shape and don’t transfer their energy to the trail as much as softer knob does.

If you are using a deeper dish rim, like our CZR i23 rim, then we recommend the 46mm long valve stem. CZR i30 rims accept either length of valve. Which width TCS Tape should I use for my rim?When installing tires on ASYMMETRICAL rims, it is helpful to always mount the tire onto the rim on the "short side" of the rim. By that, we mean the side of the rim with the shortest distance from the rim leg/bead to the valley of the rim where the valve sits.
