OK folks – so who uses what tyres in what part of the country ?
I live in Surrey and ride Surrey Hills, North and South Downs – but heading to the Peak District for the bank holiday. XC riding with my Rocky Mountain Altitude …. 140mm travel front & rear.
Currently using Maxxis High Roller 2.1 Kevlar version and they are pretty good, but I'm wondering what other tyres are popular in the UK, especially with summer coming and thoughts of using a different tyre
a) If it's worth it for a British 'summer' and
b) if there are other tyres that may handle the drier conditions better than mine ….. which are not specific summer tyres, but pretty good 3 season, I guess.
Don't want too heavy either ….
Thoughts and views on tyres then ??
Cheers
Nig
