Tyres

[Bigtosh]

Hi,

Firstly I generally ride trail centres (llandegla, coed y brenin etc)

I was wondering what tyres would be best for this type of riding, I currently have nobby nic's, but the grip seems poor compared to my old bike (which I can't remember what tyres it was running) especially on wet rock surfaces.

Thanks

A lot is down to personal preference. The rest of it is down to tyre pressures.

Before you go forking out for new tyres have a good play around with the pressures in there. Nobby Nics are well regarded and quite a few on here run them and have no problems. A lot of others, me included, run some variety of Maxxis tyre. Bonty MudX's are also good and can be used all year round despite the name.

+1 to what NorthernMatt says.

The variety of Maxxis I run is the Igniter. It's great at everything except clay mud. Oh and sheep sh1t sticks to it like it's a blanket, not a tyre.

I use Nobbies and am happy with the grip until they start to wear out.... which happens quite quickly

panracer cinders will do what you're looking for, fookin expensive tho! you'll want the 26x2.25 as well which never seem to be on offer!

Maxxis highroller, supertacky up front, an incredible tyre, I love them!!!

Having worked at a trail centre for 6 years and trying all types of Tyre. I know for sure that a Maxxis Ardent and CrossMark mix is the best speed to grip ratio for trail centres.

Thanks for the replies guys

I asked the same question a month or so ago and Maxxis Highrollers were the ones that go recommended the most.

I bit the bullet and brought 42 super tacky for the front and 60a for the rear.

The big test was this weekend as it was the 1st time I was running them at Gisburn with all the guys on here and all I have to say is WOW!! Compaired to the crossmarks I was previously running they are so so grippy and role well!

Really impressed with them and would defo Recommend them to anyone!
