If you have sandy trails and get a T9 compound front tire, get ready to eat some sand. Just mounted a T9 hillbilly and it sends sand and small gravel up constantly. It’s like an inverted waterfall of debris. Grip is great tho.
I just want a Hillbilly T9 in 29 x 2.60 size. Preferably in Grid Trail casing, but Gravity will work too. Come on Specialized, this is an obviously missing link in your tire lineup! :)
I have a hillbilly T9 on the front for wet and muddy winter trails in the UK . What would you recommend to pair it with in the rear? Currently put my butcher T9 from the front onto the back.
Gripton is the proprietary compound of Specialized tires. All Specialized tires are using the Gripton compound and we now have a softer compound with the T9 option. The BLCK DMND Casing is now replaced by the new Gravity Casing but with 2 ply of 60 TPI instead of 2 ply of 120 TPI. It’s the perfect tire for Downhill or Enduro.
Why do tire manufacturers including Specialized make it so complicated? Your website does not help either. How much browsing do you expect consumers to do to figure it out?

So did the Gripton compound become the T7? What about the BLCK DMND Casing where does it fit into this?

Nevermind the fact that the claimed weights of these tires is complete BS... go watch Justin B. Johnson... 75g weight discrepancies... piss poor
