I need some new tyres and I can get a good deal on Vittoria tyres so thought I would give them a go but I’m not sure which ones to go for.
I have two bikes both need new tyres. First bike is a full suss bike used of a bit of everything but mostly technical XC riding (Enduro). The second bike is short travel hardtail used for normal XC riding.
Both bikes use 26″ wheels and both are usually used in woodland conditions with lots of wet roots and wet muddy soil ranging from clay to looser loamier type soil. There are more wet roots than deep mud so not sure if a typical mud tyre is the correct choice.
I am specifically looking for winter tyres, I’m happy with the current tyres which work well in dry and intermediate conditions just looking for something to use for intermediate to wet conditions typically found over winter.
I’m pretty sure a Goma is the correct tyre for the full suss but not sure about the hardtail. The bike will be ridden less aggressively so I think I can get away with a better rolling tyre.
Any one have experience with Geax / Vittoria tyres and recommend something suitable for my needs?
