  1. Ahoy Here is a question for the tire experts. I have been scrolling through the 68 pages of tire info but have yet to come up with a definitive answer... I am looking for a tire combo that. I ride mostly in the Tygerberg hills region with the odd mission to Stellenbosch (Jonkers, g-spot) and Wellington. I am looking for an AM tire that has great overall grip over hard-pack, loose and rocky with the occasion loamy and mud conditions. Cornering grip needs to have a nice linear transition from straight line grip to cornering grip (i.e no dramatic jump in grip as I lean into the corner). I am still learning the limits of how far I can lean before eating dirt. Currently running a WTB Wierwolf 2.5 upfront and a WTB Exiwolf 2.35 on the rear on my 160mm Santa Cruz Nomad. Both are excellent tires and wish to keep them but I want to convert to tubeless and I might need to purchase new tires. These are both non tubeless and have seen some action already. Still plenty of tread on the Front but the rear is showing some wear. Just looking to be steered in the right direction for the right tire. Any advice? Apologies for the small essay...
