Judge 29" Tire - Light/High Grip, TriTec, SG2, E2

WTB’s Judge 29" is a purpose-built rear mountain bike tire for riders who want dependable braking traction and cornering support in loose, rocky, and unpredictable descents. Alternating centerline knob shapes are tuned to bite hard under braking without turning the tire into a slow-rolling anchor—an important balance for enduro and bike-park laps where speed still matters.

Built around a high-volume casing and optimized for wide rims, the Judge creates a flatter, more stable tread profile that makes the transition to the side knobs easy to feel when leaning the bike. It stays composed across dry-and-loose dust as well as wet, sloppy conditions, and WTB recommends pairing it with a WTB Verdict front tire for a matched front/rear setup.

• Rear-specific tread layout - Alternating center knobs prioritize controlled braking traction while preserving rear-wheel rolling efficiency
• Burly outer knobs - Reinforced side lugs hold shape under load for more consistent cornering support in berms, loam, and off-camber turns
• Wide-rim optimized profile - Flatter casing shape helps riders engage the side knobs predictably when leaning the bike
• High-volume casing - Added air volume improves stability and traction at speed through rough, loose terrain
• SG2 bead-to-bead protection - Puncture layer improves air retention and is rated by WTB at 80% more sidewall protection than traditional single-ply tires
• TriTec / E2 compounds - Compound options tailored to riders prioritizing a lighter feel or higher grip, depending on build goals
