Nobody Posted June 9, 2010 Share Tubed or tubeless? I would have suggested the tried, tested tires that you cant go wrong with, Nevegals too. (depending on sealant these can bubble) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
covie Posted June 9, 2010 Share I have tubed atm, will switch to a conversion next month, at the moment running maxxis crossmarks but they are brilliant in the dry, but tend to capture every possible grain of sand and mud in the wetter conditions.

SWM1 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Conti Mountain King 2.2(non-tubeless) front and rear. Very comfortable with excellent grip. Very happy with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLuvsMtb Posted June 9, 2010 Share conti mountain king is the way to go. Keep it on the front for summer and use the Crossmarks on the rear during summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLuvsMtb Posted June 9, 2010 Share I assume you are referring to the Saguro's and Mezcals:Excellent tyre for summr and if you want to go do Epic and any race in the Small Karoo where you have alot of hard-pack and rocky technical sections. Best side wall in the business and the slightly higher volume of the tyre adds traction and comfort. Not my first choice during winter where a softer tyre with a wider tread pattern assists with shedding mud and traction. Will be on my bike for Trans Bav in August unless it is wet.
