    Have just bought a scott scale with rocket rons fitted.They are very light (450g) but not good in the damp and puncture really easy.

    Does anyone know a tyre with similar weight but good grip?

    Many thanks

    Light tyre = crap grip.

    Nobby Nics, same construction just more knobbly. they will be heavier than the Rons though.

    I like mine a lot.

    Bonty Mud X’s, only slightly heavier, but also tubeless ready so you could gain the weight difference back by going tubeless.

    Best wet/muddy/winter tyre out there IMO… For XC use that is, as it’s only a 2″

    Not sure about their weight but I’ve been using Panaracer Cinders for years. They seem pretty light and have always given me loads of confidence

    maxxis advantage folding 2;1’s; good today in hertfordshire mud, slid alarmingly but the edges saved the day.
