Nickster Posted August 27, 2013 Share Just wondering on average how long should your knobbly tyres be lasting if you are only riding offroad? Ridden my Schwalbe Rocket Ron's for about 200km and already noticing a reduction on the back tread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJacques Posted August 27, 2013 Share They have pretty soft rubber. More grip, but wear out quicker. Depends on the terrain and riding style as well. Pretty expensive when compared to car tyres.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
divernick Posted August 27, 2013 Share Depends a lot on your riding style. A Nobby Nic back tyre lasts me about 2000km in mixed riding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickster Posted August 27, 2013 Share Tell me about it. I try not to think of the amount of money I've spent, just over the past month, on mtb'ing.But by your guys responses it doesn't sound unreasonable. My bank account is going to hate me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJR Posted August 27, 2013 Share What you gain in grip by having softer rubber is that you won't crash so often (save money at the doctor / hospital) What you lose is getting good mileage. Harder rubber will last longer but not grip so well (eina) in the rough and loose. Skylark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azonic Posted August 27, 2013 Share It will last exactly as long as what a piece of string is. white tiger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanstone Posted August 27, 2013 Share Try Schwalbe Racing Ralphs. The set on my 29er has done 5700 km thus far and still looks great. I tend to ride at higher tyre pressure to avoid snake bite punctures. Maybe higher tyre pressure has a positive effect on tyre lifespan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanstone Posted August 28, 2013 Share dont you find they dont grip very well if you run high pressures? You get used to it. As with most things, the more you train with such a setup, the better you get at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty Posted August 28, 2013 Share I do fair amount on my maxxis crossmarks and they last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
De Rosa Posted August 28, 2013 Share For me the best tyre on the market is the maxxis Crossmark. Low wearing and fantastic grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
