Good front tire for entry level MTBs. We see this often on Giant, Trek, and other OEM builds. Wire bead means it's heavier but durable. Not tubeless ready which is where customers sometimes get confused. Tube required. Good traction for casual trail riding but not a high performance tire for aggressive riders. Most riders pairing tires will run Tough Tom front and Rapid Rob rear on entry level builds.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Schwalbe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53142466199866,"sku":"GG-TIRE-MTB-TOUGHTOM-29235-KGARD","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0745\/5735\/8394\/files\/593295.jpg?v=1773245601","url":"https:\/\/gograva.com\/products\/schwalbe-tough-tom-29x2-35-mtb-tire","provider":"Grava Adventure Corporation","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
