What tyres?!!

Post by HUX »

I need some new 26" flavour tyres and I'm spoilt for choice. Needs to be pretty light,roll well but still have some decent grip and cheapish! Any ideas? What is everyone using this time of year or have you found a good all year round tyre. Looked at the Maxxis Crossmarks, anyone have any experience of them. I've used Fire XC's for years but they are a but draggy unless they are worn down a bit so I fancy a change.

I have a LARGE number of 26" tyres that are pretty much surplus ... would you like me to have a look and see what I've got?

For conditions that don't include slippery top layer of mud then I really dig Maxis Aspen, even the 2.2's (26inch) are fairly lite. I'll be using the 29er version for the gravel race for instance.

Currently though as an all rounder I really like the On One Smorgasbord. Not lite weight, but I think they roll far quicker than they look like they should and have plenty of grip. I have kept these on for the winter and not put the proper mud tyres on yet because I'm happy with how they are performing.
