tunariaan Posted July 20, 2011 Share Currently i'm using maxis lust back and front and find it to be very goodI'm a bit crazy on the downhills (mostly xc) and would like to know what you guys would use as a front tyre without loosing too much speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timM Posted July 20, 2011 Share I use a maxxis cross mark on the back and a wtb weirwolf on the front - combo works for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted July 20, 2011 Share Weirwolf is a VERy good tire. Will have to order it from CRC though, as the agents don't bring them in anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJ the Expat Posted July 20, 2011 Share Define "good" first? I had a crossmark upfront. It lasted 2 years. Bomb proof. Was it a "good" tyre? Nope. It sucked in the wet and was moer heavy. Now I have a GEAX MEZZCAL in the front. It grips like red wine on a white shirt in the corners. Is it a "good" tyre. Nope. It has punctured 5 times in one year and not cheap. If it is good at one thing, it will be bad at something else. Edited July 20, 2011 by MJ the mountainbiker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted July 20, 2011 Share Okay - good = grippy as feck, but bombproof. So far, my Weirwolf has proved to be that tyre. Grippy as feck. Hasn't cased it yet. Love that tyre! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_freak_ Posted July 25, 2011 Share Maxxis Monorail isn't too bad, just have to get the tyre presure right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Dob Posted July 25, 2011 Share Hate to punt Specialized, but the Captain Control is amazing! Predictable grip, good sidewalls and wears slowly! I've had my 2.2 for almost years and its still got loads of tread and not one sidewall split (common with my riding-technical XC) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad bout mtb Posted July 25, 2011 Share I agree with iRide, The Captain is an awesome tire eventhough it doesnt look very grippy. I'm running mine as a back tyre and it really lasts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
