AM tyres... what you running?

[Bizkit031]

 

 

Actually, schwalbe sizing is more accurate. Just measured my 2.35" Magic mary's, they pretty much spot on (1.9mm less than 2.35" or 59.69mm across the carcass, and 1.9mm wider across the knobs).

So that makes it 2.35"+/- 0.075". pretty accurate I reckon.

ok that's cool so maybe I must go with the 2.35

[Flowta]

Where do you get those?

 

I got them via the UK, I forget the dealer though

 

I'll post the actual measure widths etc, when I get a chance

They look pretty cool.

 

Looks like they may be sketchy in the transition between bike upright and leant over though. Not a problem if you know how to adjust your riding.

So I put them on my Trance for the Enduro yesterday, man they were GOOD, a bit sticky in the mud but otherwise great. Pics of the steed to follow later

 

Also my Vee Rubber Fluid and Float tyre have arrived

Not bad weight for the type of tyre they are,nice tread pattern

[Nofearnofun]

Anyone managed to find High roller 2's in 26" locally?

I'd be really interested to hear your view on the V's I've got a Speed R 2.35 up front and a mission 2.3 at the rear. I've been running at about 1.6 at the front and 1.8 at the rear.

You running tubeless,those are low pressures,must grip like crazy.

It appears that the WTB Bronson is not available in 27.5. What would the alternative be for a front tire?

 

At the moment I have WTB Wolverine 2.2s front and back, whichm was an emergency change from Nobby Nics that let me down.

 

I would prfer to stick to WTB so the sidewalls match.

Weirwolf... BRILLIANT tyre.

Check with Int Trade what they have in stock for 650B front.

Vigilante is a nice heavy duty AM tyre.

Trailboss on its way here.

Weirwolf maybe. It similar to Wolverine though.

Erm, NO - it most certainly is not similar to the wolverine. Vastly different characteristics, and a very, very grippy tire. I had the wolverine at the front and back at one time, and changed the front to a Weirwolf shortly thereafter. VASTLY different performance.

 

It's on par with the Bronson (that's what "replaced" it according to our distributors, who no longer brought the Weirwolf in)

 

Vigilante is also getting RAVE reviews...
