We’ve had the Fast Rolling and High Grip versions of WTB’s Breakout for a while and it’s a decent front or rear all-rounder, if not a tyre we deliberately hunt out for particular situations.
The TCS Tough carcass lives up to its name and the closely-spaced blocks add physical armour to create a properly bombproof tyre if you’re battering through rocks on a regular basis. That solidity gives a clunky, often jarring ride even at lower pressures though. The sheer weight of the tyre (the High Grip version is even heavier at 1,200g) makes it hard to get moving. The medium-spaced tread never feels like it’s rolling for free even on the ‘Fast Rolling’ version either. It’s usefully surefooted and predictable on gravelly/loose/ groomed surfaces though, so worth a look for (bike)park life.
