Best trail rear tire
Rating:
The Good
Rolls fast! I am a Maxxis guy. I have tried Specialized, Schwalbe, and Kenda tires, only to put a Maxxis Aggressor, DHR2, or Dissector back on the rear wheel. Not this time. The Xynotal rear tire rolls faster than the aforementioned Maxxis tires and grips better. The better traction may be as a result of the Xynotal being new, so time will tell.
The Bad
The Xynotal weighs about 100 to 150 grams more than the Maxxis tires I have used, but the Conty feels faster. Now for the really bad. I had a very hard time mounting the tire. Once mounted, I had a very tough time seating the tire. So I then attempted to use a tube, but unseating the Xynotal was even tougher than mounting. In the process of dislodging the bead, I wrecked the rim tape. So I had to re-tape the rim. Finally, using a tube, seating one side of the bead, and borrowing a neighbor's air compressor finally did the trick.
Overall Review:

Until something better and possibly lighter comes along, the Xynotal is my favorite rear tire.  After my Herculean effort to mount the Xynotal, it is not coming off any time soon.
