Nobby Nic Tire - 27.5 Plus

Already one of the most trusted names in tire-dom, Schwalbe’s Nobby Nic is back and better—or, more accurately, bigger—than ever. Blown up to an even grippier 27.5+ size, the more expansive Nic retains its large square knobs which, when paired with the super-low pressures allowed by a tubeless setup, serve up more grip than you’ll know what to do with. TrailStar triple-compound rubber is on the softer end of the spectrum (PaceStar is its slightly firmer big brother) so you’ll stick to the trail like a starfish to a tidal rock, handle off-camber corners better than a starfish could, and crush the wettest root lattices out there. And it’s doubtful that a starfish would even know where to start on that. Nic’s SnakeSkin sidewall takes the hits the trail dishes out, so you don’t have to check your speed just because you’re rolling on plus-sized rubber.
