    Seemed to make sense to run a narrower version of a more aggressive tyres on full suspension and balloon tyres on your hardtail.

    Just wondering aloud…

    My riding buddy always goes 2.3 on his full suss. I’m 2.4 or 2.5 on my hardtail.

    Probably just preference.

    Doesn’t matter what bike you’re on, less grip is less grip.

    You might want to run bigger volume Tyres on a hardtail, or a rigid bike. But that’s comfort.
