WTB Weirwolf 2.55 LT 29er First Impressions

Today was my first ride on the WTB Weirwolf 2.55 LT 29er tire. ��I had it mounted up front on my fully rigid Niner. ��After inflating it, I was rather disappointed in the size. ��It seemed smaller than my Panaracer Rampage 2.35's. ��Upon measuring them, the Weirwolf has a wider casing/volume, but the Rampage has wider knobs. ��The "LT" portion is definitely true as well, I'd call this tire a semi-knob, as the knobs are very short, and not aggressive. ��I rode the local Ridgeline area, which is mild. ��The tire has decent volume, and felt squishy enough, but I did not find I felt confidence with it in the corners. ��It was fine on tacky soil, and at slower speeds, but when things got going fast, and there was a bit of loose, and really, I mean, only very minimal loose dirt, covering harder soil, it just didn't feel like it was holding that well, or felt like it was going to go at any second. ��I did not lose it, but, I didn't feel I could push it as hard either.In part, I suspect this tire is not intended for technical, or really aggressive riding, but who knows. ��It certainly seems to roll fast, and the large volume is great (although I didn't feel to be much more noticeable than the Rampages). ��If you ride mild terrain, and want a large volume, fast roller, it's probably a good choice. ��For me though, I think I will likely not be using it much more, but sticking with the dual Rampages, as they simply rock. ��I'll put some more rides on the Weirwolf to see for sure though.
