Yes on my half fat bike.

It's more grippy that a Larry but less so that a Nate.
It rolls well and grippy in the dry but shite in wet gluppy mud

Maxxis Mammoth?
Yep my Charge came with a pair of them.... But they are the only fat bike tyres I've ever ridden so I can't compare them to anything else. The front seems to self steer rather easily on hardback but otherwise it seems fine. Works well on anything loose (especially the dry dusty loam we have road here) or gravelly. I've got no complaints.

I concur with John. I have one up front on the Pugsley, Endo rear. The mammouth is good except in Dorset like mud, I was off more times than something that falls off a lot...........

Oh, it'd only be for summer use, also considering a B-nimble but they come up a bit narrow iirc
