Does anyone have experience with these tires? I like the WTB Weirwolfs (2.5) look but how do they handle? I am also considering the new Panaracer Fire FR tire (2.4), anyone have these? thanks:confused:

I've ridden the 2.5 Weirwolfs before. It's the widest tire I've ridden as of yet, so I don't really have any other similarly sized tires to compare it to, but from what I could see it pedaled reasonably well for a 2.5 inch tire, and cornered awesome on loose stuff. On hardpack it wouldn't really be an ideal choice, but overall I think it's a solid choice, especially considering the price.

just got one a few weeks ago. Fantastic tyre! I have found that slightly lower pressure works better (28psi instead of 30 in my old Tioga Factory DH 2.1s). They can drift a little at times but it is very controllable and doesn't seem to just 'let go'. Only marginally wider than the Tioga 2.1. A bit sketchy on pavement. Terrain here is very loose and dry.

I actually have a question regarding these tires.. I won the WeirWolf 2.1 and I really don't know anything about these tires.. On the WTB website they say they are UST but I can't see anything on the tire that indicates this... The tag doesn't reference this and WTB has not replied to an email I sent them, can anyone shed some light on this for me??
Thanks

To my knowledge that tire isn't made in a UST version, but if it is, someone hook me up with a link so I can buy one!!
There's a difference between UST "compatibility" and a true UST tire. There are tires which can be mounted on UST rims, but not run in true UST format. The bead is simply designed differently.

I have the 2.5s and love them. Grip is great, float is great (through mud/snow/tundra) and if you ever need to ride on the paved trails for a second, they sound like you are driving a motorcycle. :)
The only drawback so far, is that on pavement with sharp corners, they do not feel very stable, but off trail, there is nothing to complain about. go for it.
