What are your views? Ideally on the cheaper side.

Trailrakers work really well for me in Chilterns mud, but they ain’t cheap.

Would help if you say what and where you ride. Are we talking 1.9 mud spikes or 2.35 rock tyres.

mud x round here

Same as summer ones i find. Last year was Ardent 2.25, this year XR4 2.2’s.

High rollers seem to be the best all rounders tbh

Rakers are brilliant in mud but any damp roots or rocks and they are lethal

Schwalbe Marathons

You just need to replace the nearly bald tyre you normally run on the back with one that had some widely spaced centre knobs so you get some climbing grip. Then drop 5 psi in both tyres and carry on.

Currently on a 5 spot in the chilterns, lots of mud at present !

Got a reasonable rear tire with lots of space, but the front one is just a very good mud collector 🙁

Sounds like Trailraker or Mud X 🙂 thanks guys, just got to see which i can get cheapest…

I’ve been impressed with the Maxxis Advantage LUST tyres on the bike I’m riding at the moment. They coped with the gloop pretty well today.

Going with the Bontrager Mud XR tyres which are rebranded mud x from what i can see 🙂

Kenda SB8 for the rear I have just discovered. Still to find my preferred front. 😀

Kenda small block eight for the rear during winter.. posted by someone calling themselves Uphill cursing!

Why are you cursing uphill? ;O)

Maxxis beavers …rode some nice technical wet/root/ rocky stuff yesterday without a problem,best winter tyre ive used in 25years .

Cause I am in the Southern Hemisphere 😀 and November is heading into summer!

Same tyres all year, just fresh tread for winter. But where you ride makes all the difference. Its always wet and rocky with patches of bog and mud in the Lakes = dual ply Minions or High Rollers.

If I was in Sussex trying to cope with clay in the valleys I’d be going for something skinnier and more open and probably not dual ply.

Finally got around to putting on Trailrakers to cope with Shire mud, which is fine, but I’d forgotten just how draggy they are on the road 🙁

What buzz said. Most winters I’ve gone to a Mud-x on the back. This year, on the Jones, I’ve stuck with high volume tyres at low pressure – 2.4 Ardent on front, 2.4 Racing Ralph on rear. So far but great on Mendip.

New HansDampfs front and rear here. Bit heavy and my legs felt the change from summer to winter tyres.
First ride out in he quagmire that I’m currently encountering in the normally dry South Downs forests. Good grip, solid, probably running them a bit high on pressure but ill sort that out tomorrow when I go again.

Trails are just a mess of clay and thick mud, no hard pack whatsoever today. Which is the first time in a very long time.
😐

Conti Baron for me… Unfortunately not cheap, but it’s brilliant in mud, without being crap at some other surfaces like every other mud tyre. Gives away a little on hardpack compared to a Minion or similiar as you’d expect.

Bontrager xr mud, cuts through the slop, ace side knobs for cornering and sheds mud well, also held up well on wet rocks in Hebden Bridge today.
