A friend recommended that I try these for wet conditions - I did and liked them quite a bit on everything from wet rocks/roots to mud and muck. Not the ultimate mud tire of course, but better than most. I ended up leaving them on and have ridden all kinds of conditions and terrain with them. They're holding up quite well even though they've been worked hard on some rocky downhills at speed. They do let loose a little bit in the lateral direction on stuff like leaves but it's fairly consistent slippage on other surfaces.
During the late fall and winter months in New England the trails get very slippery and somewhat muddy, the Maxxis Forekaster is to date the best tire I have found for overall grip and control while keeping speed. I run them front and back and really love the set up.

Rode the Dirty Copper Triangle and was impressed by these tires. The trail was dry in spots but that was not the entire ride. Got into some muddy spots and that is were these tires really show their worth. I had consistent cornering and braking traction the entire time. Great tires from a great company.

This was an easy install as a tubeless tire. I've only ridden it a couple of times and it's a significant improvement on the dusty summer trails in Hood River. I ended up replacing both tires because they are working for me that well.
Ive had really good luck with these tires. They are easy to mount and theyve withstood lots of riding on Sandy Ridge and in Bend. Good grip on slightly loose terrain to hardpack but not great in the mud or damp trails like Alsea Falls. Used exclusively on the rear so far. I wore the tread.
