Surly

I'm a commuter biker (~100 miles a week ) in almost-rural michigan so the roads are poorly maintained crushed asphalt and absolutely rife with gravel and dirt and sticks. These tires work super well going uphill and downhill, in rain and shine. Sidewalks and city streets are absolutely no problem either. I'm not a big trail rider but they've held up okay the few times I've taken my bike on dirt as well. Truly terrestrial.

Awesome tire for converting vintage bikes to "Gravel" bikes. Great tread, easy to mount, and look fantastic.

I enjoyed building the Ghost Grappler frame, it gave me the opportunity to build a bike the way I wanted it. I REALLY like this bike as it and handles bike loads with ease and makes a great bikepacking bike.

II have a 2023 Pivot Shuttle and a 2022 Specialized Turbo Levo and ride aggressively on all types of terrain. I've used the Spec Butcher front 29 x 2.6, the Maxxis Assegai 29 x 2.6, Maxxis Minion DHF 29 x 2.5 and although all those tires are good, the 29 x 3.0 Dirt Wizard ends up being the best for me. Having 2 bikes, you get to switch daily from one to the other and even switch front wheels from bike to bike giving you a day to day comparison and I've even taken both bike to ride the same trail on a given day for more scientific comparisons. The Dirt wizard just gives you more confidence where you need it. Slippery off cambers, there is more tire to bite the terrain. Soft sand, this tire glides through it. Slippery wet rocks and tree roots are no problem, and its tough as well. I'd highly recommend it. Maybe a bit Pricey but worth it in my opinion, as they last well too.
