Good, but pricey!
Pros: Durable, High Quality, Versatile, Good Fit
Cons: Expensive
"I'm on my second pair of these, which speaks for itself! I set them up tubeless on Stan's ZTR rims and it was a doddle- really good fit, held air no problem without any sealant and inflated with a floor pump. I've used them all winter in UK (mud, slippery roots) and abroad (loose, dry, rocky, volcanic, mountainous singletrack) and found it copes well with both, although there are faster rolling tyres (with smaller, shallower tread) for the dry. These tyres excel in British conditions- I bought them after my front wheel kept slipping out on wet ground and roots- the Nics haven't let me down once! Before I moved to a 29er I used Panaracer Trailrakers which are similar and much cheaper, but not available in 29er size."

"Good grippy tyres and the snakeskin walls allow lower pressures than the Rocket Rons I had been running, they are heavier though."

Lots of grip and tubeless too
Pros: Great Value, Attractive, High Quality, Lightweight, Good Fit
Cons: wears fast if used on road
"I was looking for 29er tyres that were true UST - and there just aren't that many out there Seriously there's like 2 or 3!! I had Maxxis Crossmarks which are good all round tyres but HEAVY!!! These tubeless (but not UST) Nobby Nics with snakeskin save 300grams a pair and whilst they aren't true UST they seal up up just great and have as much sidewall protection as true UST. They are grippier than a grippy thing thats got a degree in grippyness! A slight penalty is paid on flat out speed but to finish first, first you must finish!"

amazing grip
Pros: Durable, High Quality, Lightweight, Versatile, Good Fit
Cons: Expensive, heavier than specced
"Snakeskin, Evo, Tubeless ready. What more do you need? Well, how about accurate weights? Product description says 650g - actual is 720g. That's a huge difference.
Other than that these tyres virtually fall onto rims and inflating them tubeless was a doddle with a floor pump. Add a bit of Stan's or similar and away you go.
On the trail these tyres have awesome grip and like most Schwalbe tyres they roll very quickly. The tread is quite aggressive but fits perfectly with my idea of an all round tyre.

Great all rounder
Pros: Comfortable, High Quality, Lightweight, Versatile, Good Fit
Cons: Expensive
"Great tire for all kind of terrains. It is the second time I get this tire, and it gripes everywhere. Highly recommanded if you do not want to choose from a winter tire or a summer tire."
