Re: The MTB thread
Take a look at Kenda Nevegals, or Panaracer Fire XC pro's.

Re: The MTB thread
I really enjoyed the Nevegals, but if it's a pure mud tyre then the Panaracer Trailraker makes a great tyre for gloopy conditions.

Re: The MTB thread
I like the nevegals too, they're no mud tyre but they can do a bit of everything, fine on hardpack, fine in light mud... Great allrounders. Lots of people love Maxxis High Rollers too, similiar sort of a tyre.
I dunno, these modern mud tyres are pretty fantastic but it seems to me they mainly allow you to ride places you shouldn't, splashing your way through mud pits which would be better left to recover. But maybe I'm just old

Re: The MTB thread

The tread looks like it wouldn't be very good off-road but I find it very grippy! Here's a review website for them... http://www.mtbr.com/cat/tires-and-wh...19_151crx.aspx |

Re: The MTB thread
New bike
 About 2 hundredweight lighter than the wrought iron POS I had the other day. With working brakes and gears! Novelty! "Outrider UK" and "wildtrak" on the frame, anyone heard of them? Edit: TIG'd alloy frame with shimano shifters and stuff on it, weinnman rims. Rides nice
