Right now between the two wheelsets I have for my Stumpjumper EVO I have the option of a Specialized Butcher Grid Trail T9 in 2.3 width or a WTB Verdict Light High Grip 2.5 to choose from. The Verdict is great when it is wet and loose, but it is a slow rolling tire. Same with the WTB Judge Tough High Grip in the rear. For New England fall or spring they work great if rolling speed is not a worry. When things dry out and firm up I really like the Butcher, with an Eliminator in the rear.
