I just got a pair that I'm anxious to mount up and try. Thanks, I was curious if there were any issues w/ tubes b/c the volume of the tires is so much larger than regular tires.

The only thing I can say is that there is a larger amount of rolling resistance with low pressure, than other tires, but I don't know if that is the tire design or the tube, since I have not run it tubeless.

I know it adds more weight, but I wanted to get everyone's/anyone's impressions on how these things work with tubes (by the way, what brand do you recommend).

I can feel it when pulling up the front end, and of course pedaling. Maybe the trick is to think of the weirwolf as ankle weights for your bike... ;-) I should be receiving a new frame (hopefully) shortly, it will be built up with Specialized Resolutions front and rear. I'll post back on how the Reso rides as a front tire in the desert. I like as a back tire, but I'm going to reverse it to see what that does for traction and controlled braking. It breaks loose a little bit now. It’s a conundrum, the performance and cush is nice, but the increased girth is a definite drawback.
