Tyres for cyclocross bike?

[deejayen]

I'm thinking about converting my old cyclocross bike into a off-road bike-packing 'mountain' bike. Can you recommend any cyclocross or narrow 29er tyres which would be suitable for Highland routes - a mixture of mud and rocks etc? The bike currently has studded 700C x 40 tyres, so has clearances for those, and possibly a little larger.

Have put 32c SB8s on my kinesis tripster and can't sieve how good it or they are!

I'm loving the Smart Sams on my cross bike. Pretty cheap, too.

The WTB Nano 40C is a good tyre, goes well on tarmac as well as softer dirt. Not a mud tyre though and not sure about durability yet. Panaracer Cinder X were my fave all-rounder before that, seemed fairly big for a 35C.

I see On-One have a 'gravel' tyre in their line up. Comes in 2 sizes inc' 40c and costs 15 quid ... it must be good, it's got the word gravel in its name

Thanks, I'll have a look at those.
