Just Keep Pedaling Posted July 25, 2011 Share A high a Schwalbe Nobby Nic 2.4 on the front. Its very grippy but the super soft compund probably costs me time - meaning I finish 2nd last insead of 3rd last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bos Posted July 25, 2011 Share Hi-roller is one of the BEST I ever had on my bike but its heavy!!! this looks just like a high roller, Ive been riding it in front, Its fast and it grips as well as you can make a xc tire grip!will wear fast if you do lots of tar on it though, but thats why I have a road bike.

covie Posted July 25, 2011 Share Conti Mountain king ? I have the new Mountain King 2 and its bombproof, being RS version its superlight at 490grams, sticks like **** on a wollen jersry, the center knobs gives good rolling resistance, corners like a bat out of hell, and havent managed to puncture it yet. To me thats a good tyre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headshot Posted July 26, 2011 Share A discussion like this is almost meaningless - everyone has an opinion and almost all tyres work well some of the time. I can only think of one front tyre that was definitely rubbish - ie very poor cornering grip and thats in 17 years of riding. Basically if you want light weight you will sacrifice durability and vice versa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
