Just got in froma nice 2 1/2 hour tire test. I really like the 2.3 Exiwolf WTB tires. I was a little worried whan I saw them. They roll great but that have a really round profile and I didn't know how they would corner. As long as I wasn't in the freeze thaw mud they really hooked up awesome. Two thumbs up so far.
