Product description

Convict epitomizes the toothy tread and robust features of a truly aggressive gravity tire. Making easy work of chundery downhill tracks, the Convict chews through blown-out berms while standing its ground through every rock garden along the way. Meaty center knobs minimize wear whenever you grab a fist full of brake and tall outer knobs provide the steadfast traction you need to decimate corners. Convict was made for bike park laps on repeat.

Chunky Center Knobs

Massive center knobs provide a fortified centerline that tills through loose, rocky terrain.Â These big knobs also extend the lifespan of the Convict.

Prominent Outer Knobs

Tall side knobs extend over the edge of the tire to provide additional sidewall protection. Every other outer knobs is notched on the inner edge to counteract cornering forces.

Maximum Braking Traction

Wide, supportive knobs refuse to fold, resulting in better braking traction. Meaty and robust knobs throughout make the Convict an ideal tire for both downhill and e-bike riders.

Tubeless Compatible

TCS (Tubeless Compatible System) is WTB's standardized tubeless system. These tires feature a TCS tubeless casing, which nearly eliminates flats and allows lower tire pressures to improve traction and comfort over a traditional tube-type tire.

Bike park and e-bike approved

Everything about the Convict was designed to take the heat. Big, chunky knobs provide exceptional support to counteract the hefty braking and cornering forces (hopefully in that order) that accompany aggressive bike park riding. Big knobs also improve the durability and lifespan of the tire to provide a season's worth of traction rather than turning into a semislick after one weeked at the bike park. Looking for the perfect rear tire for your mullet e-bike? All the features that benefit aggressive bike park riding also increase performance as an e-bike tire.

TCS Tough Casing

Two full layers of casing span bead-to-bead to ensure every surface of the tire is more resistance to punctures. Using two layers of casing also provides additional sidewall support while cornering and allows riders to experience increased traction by running lower pressures than would be possible with thinner, single-ply casings. TCS Tough tires are the sure bet for aggressive trail, enduro, gravity and e-bike riders who want ultimate peace of mind out on the trail. Some riders may choose to run a TCS Tough tire on the rear while opting for the weight-saving benefits of a single-ply TCS Light tire on the front.

Very confidence inspiring in corners

This tire is very confidence inspiring and works great with the Judge out back on my dh bike. I've been running the Verdict/Judge combo on my enduro bike and I think the Convict is actually a better cornering tire. Both are great combos. I wish WTB would offer the Convict in 29 as I'm building a new 29er enduro bike and think I'd prefer the Convict up front after riding both setups. The Convict also seems to roll a bit faster than the Verdict.

BREAKING OUT LIKE A CONVICT

WAS TIME TO LEAVE PRISON BEHIND. THE CONVICT FIGHTS AND ESCAPES TO THE DOWNHILL LANDS AND GRIPS TIGHTER THAN THE CHOKE HOLD THAT LANDED HIM THERE.

Best tires in the business

I'll never bit another brand of tire. Can't beat the traction and the support is second to none.

Convict and Vigilante combo

I made the choice to try something different for enduro racing. What I have is a solid tire set up. Northeast riding is varied and will test your skill level every ride. I wanted width, grip, good cornering and peace of mind. Vigilante 2.5 front with Convict 2.5 on the rear = YES!

My favourite front tire to date!

I have been using WTB tires for a while now. But this was my first year with the convict as a choice for the front.
And I love it! In every aspect, its a great tire.
Very versatile in different conditions. We had an extremely dry summer season with very dusty trails, mixed with rots sticking out everywhere and red sand stone. But even now with lots of leaves and more wet conditions it still grips like a champ. Even on roudy off camber sections, I can trust this tire, without thinking too much about it. And it is extremely durable and faultless. No issues at all. I use it on my Rocky Altitude as a front with tough high grip and a Vigilante 2.3 in tough fast rolling at the rear.

I just have one complaint: I am going to switch to a 29er next season and I would love to have this tire as a 29er option to pair it with the new Judge at the rear... I am going to try the new Vigilante 2.5, but I have the feeling I am going to miss the Convinct up front.
