Goodbadugly Posted January 31, 2014 Share I thought so as well, but now believe they are simply too heavy and offers too much rolling resistance. Just don't ask me what I suggest, I am going to buy RR snake skins shortly, as I liked the way the ordinary Rocket Rons rolled, but they, sidewalls in particular, were not tough enough to convert to tubeless.Not nearly as slow rolling as a flat with a torn sidewall.

Chris S Posted February 23, 2014 Share Running Maxxis Crossmarks at the moment, and yip, they are bullet-proof.My only issue, is that they only go up to a 2.1 and I need something wider, especially with my weight!!Any suggestions on a tyre with similar durability to the Crossmark, but wider?

El Scorcho Posted February 23, 2014 Share Try Maxxis Ardents - bulletproof, lots of grip, and faster rolling than you'd think. Not the greatest shedder of mud though. Boyracer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to agree!! What i dio though is to run them at a lower pressure...then they "fatten" out nicely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
