    What To Look For When Choosing A New MTB Tyre: Does it say Maxxis DHRII on the sidewall

    The right tire can compliment someones riding style, or compliment the handling characteristics of a bike. I believe as riders, we can research all the data of a certain tire, and research all the reviews of a tire. But in the end, we have to decide if we are willing to take a gamble of going with a tire (or pair of tires) we have never rode and could possibly hate (and waste a substantial amount of money). Or, keep buying the same tire we have been running season after season and just be content.

    Before even watching this, I cant be the only one thinking 'right tyres, especially for muddy berms...hey Neil' 😋🙃

    Love that slo-mo suspension movement.... cool

  • @michaelwood3825

    I’ve looked for answers, but I’m confused by the tyre width options. Is there a factor / dimension in the wheel and/or fork that limits the width of tyre you buy? Appreciate anyone who can give me a simple explainer

    It's hard a choise - Do you want to prepare for the worst case (mud or very loose etc.) or do you want good all-around tyre, like Nobby Nic, which might come a bit short on those extreme ends.

    I’m experimenting with tire types with my stable of bikes all the time. One thing that I like about the lighter casing high volume tires is the supple feel. Of course you have to but them on wider internal width rims i30-i35 with 2.4 to 2.6” tires. Another thing is if you run tubeless, make sure to get tubeless compatible tires. Most brands are now realizing and making high volume tires with different casing and tread designs. I usually choose 120tpi for a more supple tire and on my more aggressive tread thicker durable sidewall tires it’s 60tpi.

    Been using the geax barrow mud 26' 1.7' on the rear of my steel xc hardtail for years and haven't looked back. Up front I find a maxxis ignitor 26' 2.1' does well for me and both tyres compliment each other well on most trail conditions and terrain
