Yeah, I appreciate the comments regarding cornering – TBH, on trail centre routes, I’ve never really had a problem with getting the bike onto its tyre edges quickly. It’s just occasionally on natural terrain that I’ve experienced the front drift with HR’s/ADvantages (on my ‘normal’ wheel sized bike).
2.4 Ardents sound interesting. I’ve seen the narrower version (2.25?), so I’m guessing the 2.4 is quite high volume?
The Purgatory’s also an intereting one, as that’s what I currently have on the front (came with the bike). Most of the time it’s fine, but its occasionally squirel-ey behaviour makes me suspect that it’s the cheapo OE 70a version, not the softer aftermarket version (I need to find someone with a durometer tester!)
