Whats your PSI in the vid Brooks? I have the 6.5" pioneer and i think its by far the best trail tire right now, in my opinion at least, for the 6.5" hub. The only thing holding me back from the MTE is waiting for that 5" pioneer haha. Looks badass dude
I’m around 7 psi and weigh about 160-165 with gear on. I like to feel the tire and just get it to the point where it’s got some mid level bounce when I’m on it. I actually didn’t love the 6.5 pioneer but the 5” pioneer is my new favorite and couldn’t recommend it enough when they’re ready
@@midwestonewheel right on! Yeah im like 208ish, but i like to run my tires at thr same feeling, low but still get a little bounce. And idk why i like the 6.5 so much haha, seems to be the best tire for the 6.5" hub on trails where im at, mainly cuz its relly soft and gives me the most air cushion. But cant wait for the 5" and the 5" thundercat whenever they make that also is guna be cool i bet. See yall at Winman next month, im guna road trip from cali
This was a mid compound. I’d say comparable to tx11/22 in between maybe. It’s got thicker rubber/deeper treads so whatever they did for compound they nailed it. Eats up chunk, stable as all heck at speed, and still playful on the pavement (good carving tire)
Looks like a feisty en technical trail. Perfect to test this setup. Seems to be holding up well in this rocky terrain. Awesome video mate! 🤙
Very feisty and I love it! GTS is performing well and the 5” pioneer is probably the best tire I’ve ridden. Super playful and stable, it’s great!
Where is this at? I havent explored much besides winman

Hey Brooks, how’s the compound on it ? Assuming more like tx22 or 33 even ?

How do you like it compared to the 555 Enduro?
@@Mitchwilmarth night and day difference. More clearance, more cushion, more sidewall, more tread. Great trail tire, but nimble and fun in street too

@@midwestonewheel could you do a road test video on the street? Curious how loud it is
