Specifically I am running a 2.35 Highroller stans tubeless up front on DT Swiss 5.1 rims.
I was running a less agressive patterned 2.25 Maxxis Advantage on the rear (also stans tubeless) but recently got a side wall split that refused to seal. I have to replace the rear tyre to stay tubeless and no longer have faith in the Advantage and was looking for suggestions for a suitable alternative.

Its for a Stiffee riding a mix of woodland trails and Dartmoor.

Opinions and thoughts appreciated…

Fat Albert UST here. Tough and good grip.

have had similar experiance (the no ust version suffered as sidewall split found the ust version of the Advantage far more robust, not sure of size but is skinnier than the regular tyre)
