Hi all
Please forgive naievety/lack of knowledge on the subject of tyres. I realise this might be a topic that’s been done to death…but,
I’m an XC rider mostly, hardatails, South East of England. Usually run Panaracer Cinders in the summer and Trailrakers in the winter and I’ve been very happy with that combination.
That’s about the sum total of my tyre knowledge ….
So, have recently bought a big bouncy full suss Enduro-type bike, which came with 2.2 Rubber Queens.
I want to do some more ‘ambitious’ riding, Aston Hill, Forest of Dean, Welsh/Scottish trailcentres etc etc. Year-round. Hence the bigger bike.
Now then, I would imagine that these Rubber Queens are fine in the dry but not so great in the wet, would you agree ?
What would be a good choice of tyre for this kind of riding when it’s not so dry ? Is there an easy answer, like RQ’s in the dry, something else for the rest of the year ? What size ?
Apologies in advance for the beginner-type questions.
Advice much apreciated – cheers.
