Mounts easily and without tools and set tubeless easily. I have been using Butchers as a front tire on my bikes for a couple years and find them to be a great jack of all conditions tire- mud, dry, loose, rocky, it grips it all, leans over well, is very predictable and has plenty of grip even on roots. For the price this is every bit as good as much higher priced tires and performs a bit better across a wider range of conditions. As an employee at a shop once said to me-- you can buy that much more expensive tire we sell, but this one is every bit as good and half the price. All true.
