Grease_Monkey Posted April 19, 2021 Share Jared, you are overthinking this. Buy a combo, any combo. Try it out, next time try something else. Eventually you find what you like. Mtb tech is at the point where there are really very few terrible options so any of the above mentioned will do just fine. At the end of the day tyres are personal preference, so the only way to find you perfect is to try a few out. NotSoBigBen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eala Posted April 20, 2021 Share Also why do you say the race king is for the pros?They are light ,work well ,rarely cut ,but start disintegrating to soon and the rubber comes off at the sidewall .I weigh 100kg ,so maybe that is the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eala Posted April 20, 2021 Share Whatever is in stock currently is a good choice ,but you will not regret any maxxis/ vittorio combo .Put a ikon 2.35 at the back and a barzo in front .Many happy Gauteng miles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
