Specialized Hillbilly Trail Tire
Best aggressive gravity tire for loose and muddy trail conditions.
This is the tire you swap on when the trail turns into a sloppy, unpredictable mess. Its aggressive, slow-rebound rubber bites deep into loose dirt for unmatched confidence in corners, though that extra grip inevitably comes with a bit more rolling resistance on hard-packed climbs.
