been running a Conti Baron on the front for a month or so - cheating amounts of grip, even in the proper filth

Hi Magoo,
I'll take a set of MudX off your hands if they are still going spare. I'll drop you an email.
Cheers,

Just received the Bonty Mud XR's [as they're now called] from JE James [great price & service - they got my order yesterday and delivered today - even gave me a time within an hour as to when they'd be delivered - top marks to them].
Anyway, fitted to rims [by eck the 2.0's do look skinny compared to my Schwalbe 2.35's] but cann't wait to try them out at weekend to see if they're as good as everyone's raving about.

That's well quick considering it's free post. WIsh I did an order today although pretty sure they were sold out earlier

+1 on Dirty Dans. It has to be properly gopping before I take the Speed Kings off though.

Loved my mud x last winter on the full susser and could quite easily run them all year. This winter on the HT they don't seem to give quite as much grip over wet roots and rocks, so experimenting with a grippy XR4 up front and mud x on the back.

Black Shark Mud's if you can still get them, failing that Dirty Dan's! Used them on the natural stuff at cannock last weekend and never had a problem and believe me it was muddy!!

I've just tried the Panaracer CG soft conditions and am very happy with them.
The 2.1 size cuts through mud and provides pretty good grip on hardback also.can catch them if they slip easier than the all round trail tyres (Spesh Eskars, Mountain Kings) I've tried

Conti Baron for me.
Good in both mud and on roots.
Wouldn't like to say whether they are better value than the mud-x given the price of the Baron's.

Agreed with that man - Black Shark Mud tyres are superb and we only have a couple left and contemplation keeping them for ourselves. Otherwise Dirty Dans are mighty impressive. We got some Hans Dampf tyres in, which are supposed to be all-rounders so can't wait to try them...

Just come back from Cycle Surgery with the intention of buying a Storm Control and have walking out with MudX at £12 under RRP. I love LBS' that price match.
