tyres

[paxterg]

I am lookin to upgrade the tyres on my trek 4300. It has stock bontrager 2.1's on it, I have seen a pair of Continental Mountain Kings 2.4. The thing I am worried about is will these tyres be too fat? I cycle forest trails, alot of hilly slippery stuff! Any advice appreciated!

2.4 tyres are huge, and to be fair not the best bet on an XC frame. You may have enough clearance, but it would be much better to go for some 2.2. Ribble and Tredz have them at £14 a tyre.
