My experience of plus tyres is that they're not great in mud because they 'float'. So who's this aimed at?

Is that WTBs mud spike plus tyre?
Check on their site, press release date is a clue : )
very subtle I thought.
Oh - geddit. Just seen the date released on the WTB blog.
😳

It is. Lots of keen punters on their Instagram. 🙂
Thing is they'd probably sell a fair few if they made them. Market testing w/o commitment stroke of genius?
Could work, I had some 2.5" Swampthings which (though slow rolling in supertacky dual ply flavour) worked in pretty much all winter conditions - slippy roots and rocks were fine with the volume and they bit well in mud too. They looked pretty similar to the pic!
Can see that a plus size tyre like that could work, despite the perceived need to "cut through" the mud.

True. If a little worrying!

You do know how boats work, don't you? 😉
Depends on how overloaded the 'boat' is, my Plimsole line regularly disappears in the mud even running 2.4's
I can think of a few rides where that would be a great tyre.
