I bought these for a special project and it turns out they were a few mm too wide for my frame. I rode them about 2km on the road before taking them off and avoid damaging my chainstays. Maxxis is the top of the heap for tires. These are 29x2.0" knobby mud tires - a bit of a unique combination of low volume and high grip - great for XC riding. Very easily set up tubeless for me - first crack - no issues. They've been sitting in my shed for a month and have a bit of sealant residue in them, but are as close to new as you can get. Let me know if you have any questions.
