Review on 🚵 Maxxis Ardent Tubeless MTB Tire: Superior Performance for All Mountain Bike Trails, with EXO Puncture Protection | Available in 26, 27.5 or 29 inch Sizes by Nathan Akers

So far this is the best compromise I've found in terms of weight, speed, durability, versatility, cost and handling. I have a second set and have ridden them on a variety of surfaces and conditions. They set up easily for tubeless use and seem to work equally well with UST or Stan's spec rims. I've never rolled a tire or had a puncture in the sometimes rough and rocky conditions of central Texas. I ride them on both wheels. Like any tire, they lose traction and flex over time and need to be replaced. My first set lasted almost 4 years and covered over a thousand miles.
