+1 for Cliffhangers. I'm going with those for the Susie I'm waiting on. I have had both Atlas and Cliffhangers on my previous Rivs. Atlas is super solid as well. I had 2.0" tires on them. Never had any problem even with some loaded rides. If I already had a pair of Atlas I'd use them. Since I'm ordering a new set, I'm going with Cliffhangers.. because why not! The weight difference is hardly noticeable. Cliffhangers work great for tubeless too.
