As title, for my Anthem in size 2.0 -2.2.

I found Hutchinson Bulldog Tubeless Lite 2.0 OK in the past, but is there anything else I should consider?

Wet weather? Bontrager Mud-X

UST and light weight don't go hand in hand, but 2" Mud Xs come in around 550g, not true UST, but 'Tubeless Ready'.

+1 for the Bonty Mud-X, personally I think it's a fairly quick tyre and great in the wet.

are you riding in really muddy conditions or trail centres in the wet?

tbh i don't have an issue with racing ralph ust's around a trail centre in the pouring rain, but i won't bother with them in the local forests

for a more alrounder type tyre i prefer the bonty acx's tubeless ready over the mud-x, but the Medusa LUST are very good in really muddy conditions (better than the trailraker ust/mud-x tubeless ready imo)

+1 for Mud X. I find them great for everything except really fast and dry summer trails, when I can swap on something even faster!

I was very happy with Mud X 2.0s on the Anthem.

They seem to suit it better than they do my other bikes as well, oddly.

Be interested to see a pic of the old thing if you have one, hope you're enjoying it.
