Specialized Ground Control Grid Lite T5/T7 TLR Tire Black, 29x2.35

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I put the Ground Control Grid Lite T5/T7 TLR Tire through a full day on a rocky, rooted trail system that's notoriously hard on tires. The center knobs kept things rolling smoothly on the climbs, and when I pitched into a loose, off-camber corner, the shoulders planted confidently. Came home with no cuts and plenty of grip left over.""On trails where rocks and roots test every tire choice, the Specialized Ground Control Grid Lite T5/T7 TLR Tire earns its place on the build. The reinforced casing absorbs the kind of abuse that would sideline a lighter tire, so we can push harder through technical sections without pulling back for protection. The center knobs roll efficiently on the climbs and connector trails, and the shoulder compound bites into loose corners with enough authority to keep our lines clean. What separates the Grid Lite from its lighter sibling is that casing — built to take cuts, resist pinch flats, and stay intact on the sharp, unpredictable terrain that defines aggressive trail riding. Set up tubeless, it lets us run lower pressures for better grip and trail feel without second-guessing every jagged rock on the descent. This is the tire for riders who want speed but won't trade away durability to get it."
