Which mtn bike tyre?

[bjellys]

I have used these for the last 6months http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/...le&utm_medium=Shopping&utm_name=UnitedKingdom
I know they are cheaper than you want to pay but I have only come off twice ,each time on clay that had just been rained on ( I don't think there are many tyres that can grip on slimy firm clay ) ,In deep mud or dry conditions there very good .plenty of good reviews.

Panaracer XCPro, very good all rounder. I used to keep changing my tyres to suit the conditions, but these stay on all the time now.

All this talk about tyres seems to be missing a very important ingredient and buy that I mean pressure. Adjust it to suit the conditions and of course your weight. On another point everyone in this cycling family ride tubeless on the MTB and we all like them a lot.

... I was looking at the Maxxis Ignitor or the High Roller....

I have Maxxis Ignitors on a hardtail Pace MTB and find them a good all-round tyre for off-road use.

They grip sufficiently, give good feedback, take well to a range of pressures and seem to wear well.

They are dreadful on tarmac, like taking a Land-Rover down the M4 on winter tyres... but that is a function of their excellence off-road.

I don't know whether they are the best choice, but they are certainly a good choice.

I second that.

Using Maxxis Ignitor and really satisfied with them. ran about 3000km and still 30% of useable tyre is there.

I've always used metal levers, though the Park plastic ones I got recently seem pretty sturdy. That's a consideration too, he has to be able to get them off and do his own repairs, in case I'm not with him for whatever reason.

I've got a set of plastic levers with metal cores, can't remember the brand but I got them from my LBS. Sturdy and kind to the rims
