    I like the feel of the XR4’s on my SS So am wondering if an XR3/XR2 combo might be a good xc racing combo to replace a Nic/Ralph combo?

    Race on XR1 2.2 front and 2.0 rear in the dry and XR2 up front if its damp.
    A 4 and 3 on the trail bike for general duties.

    Yes, been running that combo tubeless all summer on both the geared Ti 456 and the rigid SS Pace 104 – all at 2.35. I really rate Bonty tyres, and this combo gives me real confidence on the front end and enough grip at the rear.

    Used to run NN/ NN on the Ti 456 and the Bonty combo is much, much better – just feels much more planted.

    Now that the slop is here, I’ve swapped out the rear XR2 for the usual Mud X and its still great!

    So for wet loam, aka not slop the xr2 would be ok on the rear? This is primarily for Thetford btw.
