That Maxxis Ardent is definitely a tire I'd like to try. I've been looking at that one for a while now, and it looks promising. Perhaps that on the front with a Crossmark on the rear would be a hot combo for an aggressive xc rider in a relatively wide variety of conditions, perhaps with the exception of sticky mud or extreme blue groove hardpack, where dual Crossmarks, Nanos or Pythons rule. The Weirwolf LT is a great handling tire, so I'm interested in looking at any evolution that comes down the pike there. It certainly couldn't hurt the tire's loose terrain performance to have a bit deeper knobs. Dig it!

YES!!! WOOHOO! It better be true, because now you have raised my hopes! I actually asked about a full tread Weirwolf in a 2.3"-2.5" at Interbike since it was always my favorite 26" tire (not so much a fan of the low tread design). They hadn't known of any plans to produce it then, but I guess I wasn't the only one clamoring for it! If they can keep it in the 800-850 gram range (or even less would be nice), I'll be ordering as soon as they're available! A 2.35″ full-depth tread Weirwolf?! YES!!! WOOHOO!
