Grip and hold the line just as well and some situations better than the higher priced brands. Best of all they are lighter in weight.

The Soil Search Series is a must have for any rider looking for best look and value. The T7/T9 rubber compounds add a nice overall grip no matter where you ride, having the soft nine at the front while in a downpour is nothing but confident & inspiring to ride off camber. Sticky Ikcy!

Just as good as the other brands but the value of Specialized tires is off the chart. I run them on all 3 of my bikes. Eliminator T7 on the back of my Levo and my enduro bike, Ground Control T7 on my trail bike and all 3 bikes have the Butcher T9s up front.

My new favorite tire! The grip is amazing, the color scheme is dope and makes me proud to purchase this Soil Searching line knowing that money will go to Trail Building! I wish they had this tire with a DH casing though. But still, it’s a great tire!

Grip and performance of this tire is wonderful, I've been riding butchers for a couple years and typically don't have any issues. However this year I have had two of these tires back to back fail with under 30 miles on one and ~100 mi on the other. Both had a side knob tear off the right side well before their useful life. One of them still has the tire mold seams still showing.

This is a great tire, excellent traction for the rocky, sandy riding in Arizona. I run Butchers on both my FS and hardtail. Love the soil searching tan walls, they look awesome!

Radical grip, full on rip!

Hard to find sold out and a great tire .

Great

I currently run the 2.3 version as a front tire. It measures slightly wider than advertised, which is fine. The grip on this tire is incredible. The nobs bite really well, and the T9 compound molds to rocks and roots nicely. Sidewall protection is pretty nice too. I would definitely buy this tire again.
