Goodyear Newton MTF Trail

The Newton MTF is specifically engineered as a front-specific tire, optimized for steering precision and braking traction. While you could technically mount it on the rear, you would likely find it sluggish and lacking the rolling efficiency you want for a rear tire; it is best paired with a dedicated rear tire like the Goodyear Newton MTR.

No, this is a tubeless-ready tire. You can set it up without an inner tube using sealant and a tubeless-compatible rim, which allows you to run lower pressures for better grip and puncture protection.

The 60 TPI (threads per inch) casing strikes a balance between durability and suppleness. It is robust enough to handle the impacts of aggressive gravity riding without feeling overly stiff or harsh on the trail.

Yes, this tire is designed for 29-inch wheels. Just ensure your rim width is compatible with the 63.5 mm width to ensure the tire profile sits correctly and provides the intended cornering support.

The tread pattern is designed to bite into loose, unpredictable surfaces like wet roots and dusty rock. It clears debris well, giving you the predictable grip you need when the trail conditions turn nasty.
