The Hillbilly MTB tire is a raw - power performer. Engineered for gravity, it shines in the steep, slippery, loose, and wet terrains of the continental north. This all - new tire is specifically crafted to grip shifty natural ground, giving you confidence and control in the wild. Its tread pattern is super aggressive, with deep center knobs and large shoulder blocks. These features help it cut through loose soil when cornering. The block - in - block transition knobs strengthen the tire, improve traction, and reduce rolling resistance, whether you're plowing through loam, riding on rock slabs, or charging over slippery roots. Specialized's Sticky Fast T9 rubber compound takes traction to the next level. It sticks like glue even in the greasiest conditions. Plus, it provides just the right damping, reducing bounce and deflection for better stability and control. This tubeless - ready trail tire comes in GRID Trail or GRID Gravity casings, suitable for trail, all - mountain, enduro, and downhill riding. GRID Trail offers bead - to - bead protection and stability for rough rides. GRID Gravity, a two - ply construction, is tough and puncture - resistant for extreme conditions, ensuring great strength and stability in corners and jumps. As a 2Bliss ready clincher, it's easy to mount and inflate with or without tubes, just add sealant.

Using this Hillbilly MTB tire is easy. First, if you choose to go tubeless, add sealant to the tire. Then you can mount it on your wheel and inflate it, with or without a tube. When riding, this tire performs best in steep, slippery, and loose terrains, so feel free to take it on those wild trails. For maintenance, regularly check the tire for any signs of wear, like cuts or low tread depth. If you notice any punctures, patch them up right away. Clean the tire after each ride to remove dirt and debris. Store it in a cool, dry place when not in use to keep it in good condition. Remember, the GRID Gravity casing is for extreme conditions, so if you're not riding in very tough terrains, the GRID Trail might be a better choice for you.
