I’m having a bit of a ‘mare at the moment trying to get a set that work well in the current conditions, i.e. wet and a bit muddy. Now i had Maxxis Medusa front and rear after the heavy rain, but it was a bit of overkill for areas like FoD, so changed the front to a Maxxis Advantage, but that wasn’t the greatest in wet conditions, so looking at what to try up front, is it better to go for a mud tyre like a medusa, storm, etc or an all rounder?
I should add the reason it’s been a ‘mare isn’t due to the riding bit, it’s been tyre widths, i bought a Hans Dampf, but it was just a little too big for the front (in a SID RL), and i just bought a Maxxis Beaver 2.0, but it certainly doesn’t come up to 2″, more like 1.8″, so i’m guessing it’ll do well in mud, but corner a bit crap.
So, is there any option up front at around 2″ to 2.2″ that will do the job in mud and wet?
