Never held more than 20psi - pinhole

Tire had a pinhole at the bead. Took me 2 hours of mounting, adding sealant, checking with soap suds. I've never had a Specialized tire last more than 100 miles. People assured me they improved quality. This lasted 0 miles.

Great tread, sidewall issues
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
Really like the tread for aggressive XC riding. Grips well in corners and rocky sections. My past riding has been more enduro, so I usually have pretty aggressive tires. I was pleasantly surprised at how well these tires grip. But...like most other Specialized tires I've owned before, after a month or so, sealant starts to leak out the sidewalls. This happened even on my daughter's bike, ridden very mildly on purely green and blue singletracks with no rocky sections. If Specialized can figure out their sidewall issues, hard to beat this tire. Until then, I probably won't buy it again.

Excellant service
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
- Size Bought:
- 10/24
New tires arrived with 2 pin holes in one of them. One hole was very close to bead and not sealing with sealant. I emailed backcountry and they promptly sent me a new tire
