Specialized Butcher Tire

The T9 compound is Specialized's high-grip rubber formula designed to slow down rebound, which helps the tire track better over roots and rocks. It provides a sticky, planted feel that excels in technical terrain where traction is the priority.

Yes, this tire is tubeless ready. It is designed to be set up with sealant, which allows you to run lower tire pressures for better grip and puncture protection without the risk of pinch flats.

Functionally, this tire shares the same tread pattern and T9 compound as the standard Butcher, but it features a unique 'Soil Searching' sidewall design. A portion of the proceeds from every sale goes directly to the Specialized Soil Searching organization to support trail builders.

Yes, the Butcher is designed to handle a variety of conditions, including wet trails. The knobby tread pattern is aggressive enough to clear mud and maintain traction on slippery surfaces.

This tire is sized at 29 x 2.4 inches, which translates to a width of 60 mm. Keep in mind that the final mounted width can vary slightly depending on the internal width of your rim.
