WT stands for Wide Trail. This casing is optimized for modern, wider rims—specifically those with an inner width between 30mm and 35mm—to ensure the tire profile sits correctly for predictable cornering.

EXO is a cut-resistant and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls. It provides extra durability against trail hazards like sharp rocks and roots without adding excessive weight to the tire.

Yes, this specific model is designed for 27.5-inch wheels. Please ensure your frame and fork have enough clearance for the 2.50-inch width before installing.

The maximum pressure is 50 PSI, but for trail riding, you will likely want to run much lower. Experiment with pressures in the 20-30 PSI range depending on your rider weight, rim width, and terrain to find your optimal balance of grip and support.
