MTB Tyre Choices


patches

Recommended Posts

I would never ever ever put Saguaro on the front ever again. I'm surprised so many people on here recommend it. I have used it twice over the years and found it one of the most sketchy tyres ever. 

It obviously comes down to personal preference.

 

I love my Saguaro's - bullet proof and have good wear. They just damn expensive now with the crap R$.

Who did your wheels? How you finding those rapides? I'm very close to getting them.

 

Should be the other way round.

Barzo Front, Saguaru rear.

Expect at least a 25% jump in prices from old. Everything has gone up.

Wheelset from Rapide. Happy with mine.

Might just rather do a combo of the Mezcal on the back and Barzo front, seeing that the others are not keen on the Saguaro

They just wear a bit quick.

Hey. Onza Canis vs Maxxis ikon? Opinions?

I liked the Ikon but found that it tends to delaminate with Stans sealant before the tread was gone. It appeared to last a bit longer with Joe's.

you talking about the Mezcal G+  ???

 

have you tested them 

 

 

Looks like i have no choice now as my Saguaro that has a nasty cut ( which i have plugged with CAR plugs ) has given up again..

So New Mezcal G+ here we go

I have the Barzo front, Saguaro back. Corners like it's on rails.

Had the Saguaro upfront with a older version of Mezcal at the back, was a bit sketchy,

 

Anybody got some input on the Kenda 24Seven Race (29x2.0)

Recently put WTB Weirwolf/Nineline combo on my Anthem. What's the durability of these like? I replaced a set of conti x-kings that were weeping and loosing chunks of tread. I was surprised at the poor life i got out of the contis
