Hi all

 

I know this has probably been discussed countless times before, but here goes..

 

I am relatively new to cycling - have a hand-me-down full sus with deore xt rims. What tyres are best for sand-on-hard surface and plenty prickly-stuff (sekelbos/akasia thorns). I currently run Rubena Scylla rear, and Monorail front. Monorail have to be replaced soon.

 

Any suggestions for R400 - R550?

Should the Scylla go front?

 

Thanks

Maxixis Crossmark UST on the rear and Monorail on the front worked very very well for me. The Crossmark UST is a bit heavy but it can take a lot of beating.

Maxxis crossmarks tubeless

Appreciated. I am looking for something that has decent knobs for the front for cornering. I came off the bike pretty hard two weeks back when the front slid on a thin layer sand on compact soil.

 

Does anyone have an experience with the maxxis larsen?

I would go other way round, prefer traction up front, easy roller on the back

I ride across the country with Larsen tt, not the best if you really want more traction
