    Hi all,

    Moon on the stick content probably

    Just started commuting using my xc bike, sticking with this bike as running tubeless and sealant means I shouldn’t ever need to change a tube etc on the way to work.

    Currently got Maxxis Beaver on there, and these are great off road xc tyres but really draggy on the road.

    Anyone got some good suggestions for a tyre that will be ace off and on road aswell?

    Don’t mind the cost of changing them regularly if they wear out as the money I am saving not owning a car can buy a lot of new bike tyres!

    Cheers

    Thunder Burt 2.1 for max speed.
    Xking 2.2 or Rocket Ron (either size) for speed with a quite a lot of versatility.

    Something like a racing ralph, as you need to use it off-road. The older evo snakeskin ones should be cheaper now the new ones have a fancy additive and a stripe on them.

    Continental X-King’s v good for for me. I cycle to work on them sometimes (15 miles on the road) then off road on the way home.

    Sidewalls aren’t super strong, but I think that’s inevitable if you want a light fast rolling tyre.
