The Schwalbe Shredda Rear Evolution Tubeless Radial Tire is tuned for the specific job a rear wheel does on the steepest climbs, generating braking and propulsion traction rather than holding a steering line. Its tread runs slightly shallower than the Shredda Front but with a more stable, scooping profile built to interlock with soft, loose terrain exactly where power gets transferred to the ground. A radial carcass backs that tread up with roughly 30 percent more ground contact than a standard tire at the same pressure, so the extra traction shows up precisely where a steep climb demands it. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I felt the rear dig in and find drive on a loose, steep pitch where I'd normally start spinning out, and it kept that traction through the whole effort instead of breaking loose halfway up. That's a rear tire doing its actual job, not just matching the front's tread pattern."
