I had a pair on my old stumpy. Really crap to be honest. Changed to Intense System 4 C2 (something like that) shortly after. Loads better.

Have been using the classic Blue Groove/Nevegal combination for years and they have always been fine. May be a bit draggy on the road but have never let me down off road.

IME they are weak at the side wall (as was pointed out to me after I'd got them) and I found out as a spewed sealant (they were Ghetto'd) all over my leg and the trail DHing at Innerleithen after arock sliced the sidewall open.
I had to walk the rest of the way down which wasn't as much fun as it would have been if I was riding. I wasn't pleased.

My Conti Verticals are better.

blue groove/nevegal for me, with stans tubeless system. they're ok, i have a little reservation at present as the front feels a little hard/lack of give but i'm in the middle of sorting my forks/tyre pressures so more likely its part of a front end issue rather than just the tyre.

small block 8's on my hardtail, love em!

Blue groove on the back exellent tyre for the lakes,they dont last long though,I find the profile is crap if tried on the front, and seems to drop off the side of rock easily. 😥

I use a specialised enduro 2.3 on the front (dual compound) and is a great combination
