Thoughts on new MTB tires?

[macneill]

Nothing too aggressive, I don't do much mud riding and spend more time on the street, but want something for hard packed and single tracks.

Thanks

2.2" arrow launches are good but pricey

Cool, that is a good looking tire.

they are fast, but wash out easily compared to my 2.6 gazzi's.lol

I ride on Kenda Nevegal 2.1 DTC stickees. It's a very fast rolling tire in the woods or on the road, and very grippy when needed. Mountain Bike Action has rated the tire number 1 XC for the past two years. They list at $47.99 each, but it's veryeasy to find them at a discount.

Thanks for the tips. I ended up going with Forté VersaTrac/K.

I'll see how they feel.

I see you picked, but I'll put in my 2 cents.

Maxxis Holy Rollers work well for me. Nice commuting tire and I still have fun in the dusty rocky dirt we have here.

A kenda small block 8 rear and a kenda nevegal front end makes for a great commuting and offroad setup. I run them on my bike when I am doing long races and such but still need some good traction up front for trails.

Kendal Nevegal 2.3 Dual Thread Compound (DTC) Tubless.....
they grip nice and hard !!!

I ride Small block 8's but I have no rocks to puncture the thin sidewalls. The rolling resistances is next to nothing plus if the sand or dirt you are on is not wet not a better offroad tire. Just my experience and .02 cents.

X2!!!

but if you ride more road, i would suggest Kenda SB8s front/rear

The Kenda Nevegals (aka heavagals) are heavy/slow but they sure grip really well in dry dusty conditions like here in Austin, TX.

I might have to look into these. I think my Panaracer Fire XC Pros have dry rotted from not being used

I love WTB's... I'm currently running a Nanoraptor in the back and a Weirwolf LT up front on my singlespeed 29er. The Nano is plush and the Weirwolf is plenty plush to help out with my full rigid setup.

Continental Double Fighters- I don't know if they're still made- I love 'em.

I see they're still made- but not in the orange stripe down the center/ kevlar version that I still have.
