On-one ti cx bike, 2x 32mm conti twister, cross racing / XC, pretty good.
Winter hack road bike, 2 x 23mm conti 4 seasons, commuting, very good.

Excellent in current conditions. Stout comfy rigid and lots of grip. Very heavy though. I run 2.4 RR in the Summer. Mud X first run today – grippy! Impressed. Probably run Bonty ACX in the summer.

Your thoughts on said combo: Pretty good so far – not super grippy in mud but good enough

Summer Bonty ACX on Motolite and Bonty Revolt Super X/XR Team on Maxlight.

Just swapped over to Bonty Mud X today as well – spent most of the time on tarmac where they are also grippy, but not too draggy.

Type of riding: XC, South Wales trail centres, Brecons, Cardiff local trains
Your thoughts on said combo: Very happy, since I've put them on, haven't really thought about them, and I guess that's a pretty good sign. Plenty of grip in all conditions ridden so far (dry, rocks and roots [wet and dry], torrential rain, grass, mud).

Rocket Rons
Little Alberts
Crossmarks

All ok round Swinley/Thetford/N Downs at the moment. The Alberts are brilliant.

Mountain bike: Chameleon. Ride everywhere; Chilterns mud, south wales trails, peaks grit.

Nobby Nic UST 2.1 front and rear. Not bad as a GP all round tyre. Pressure sensitive.

Road bike: Continental Sport Ultra…it's winter, don't care as long as they stay up

on one scandal no-sus, SS mudbike
trailraker tubeless rear
mud-x tubeless front
type of riding: soon to be fully submerged, 2hrs a week nightriding
thoughts: it's forward motion rather than cornering grip I'm after & they're pretty good. failed on the slippy off-camber roots last time out, but that's about 100yds max during a ride

Bike – Merlin Malt 1
Tyres – Ritchey Z-Max 1.95
Type of riding – Road, cycle tracks – nothing too taxing!
Verdict – Perfectly adequate

Bike: Van Nicholas Zion
Front tyre: Conti Speed King Supersonic 2.1
Rear tyre: Conti Speed King Supersonic 2.1
Type of riding: General XC, mud, roots
Your thoughts on said combo: Lots of grip, plus very light and fast.

Bike: Giant XTC Carbon \ Kona Hei Hei
Front: Bonty Jones Mud X 1.8 with tubes \ Nobby nic 2.1 tubeless
Rear: Bonty Jones Mud X 1.8 with tubes \ Nobby nic 2.1 tubeless
Riding: General Trail and XC – Bonty tyres are fantastic. Very good in most things, clear well and are very dependable. Nobby's are great until it gets too gloopy

Bike: Marin Rock Springs 08
Front tyre: Kenda Small Block Eight
Rear tyre: Kenda Small Block Eight
Type of riding: Waiting for drier weather
Your thoughts on said combo:

Surprisingly good for three seasons of the year and can be inflated hard enough to commute on.

High Roller 2.35 Kevlar MaxxPro both ends. Running tubeless with Stans

Riding is Peaks XC

Like them. Predictable, grippy and reliable

B=Kona Pine Mountain

mostly XC and trail riding (Dalby red last week for example)
Best tyres ive ever used, if you can work traction well and move about on the bike, can be persuaded to grip in any conditions. A true all year pairing.

Front 1.8 mud X
Rear 2.1 Trailraker
Both tubeless.
Ride everything except scary stuff.

Orange five with minions 2.35 front 42a rear 60a

I find them a grippy, tough and predictable in all conditions, including the mud we've got now. Was going to change for swampthings this winter but keeping these on now.
They are a bit draggy but I'm happy to sacrifice this for the above good points. Can keep this tyre on all year round.

Orange P7
XC type riding
front and rear Panaracer fire xc pro 2.1"
I get on with these tyres and have used them for years , find them very predictable in most conditions.

GT Ruckus I-drive
gravity assisted riding
front Kenda Blue groove stick-e 2.5
rear Kenda Nevegal stick-e 2.5
These are on still cos I can't be arsed switching them for my 2.35 swampthings but they still hook up well in most stuff.

Orange 5 with 2.35 High Roller 2-ply Super tacky on the front and Minion DHF Maxxpro on the rear.

South Bristol, Mendips,Quantocks, Exmoor and South Wales are my normal trails.

Front tyre is abit heavy (unsurprisingly) but stupidly grippy on mud,rocks and roots. Minion is okay on the rear but not as good as i'd hoped TBH.

Both run ghetto tubeless too.

Tracer VP
XC on rocky / rooty trails
2.35 Highroller LUST

They feel ok, but lacking grip on really wet conditions. I've ordered supertacky Minions to experiment.

Bike: On-One Inbred
Front tyre: Vertical Pro 2.3
Rear tyre: Bonty Mud-X
Type of riding: Scottish Borders and Pentland hills XC, very muddy, wet and hilly.
Your thoughts on said combo: Been running this setup for two winters. The Vert handles the front well but need extra traction in the gloop for the rear, hence the Mud-X. Mud-X gets swapped out for another Vert Pro if going to trail centres.

P7 – Wyre Forest
Mud X 2.0 Winter
Cinders 2.25 rest of the year.

Five – Trail centres

Maxxis 2.5 ST Wetscreams. It's muddy as hell out there.

Bike: Giant Faith
Front tyre: WTB Timberwolf 2.5 dual ply
Rear tyre: WTB Timberwolf 2.5 dual ply
Type of riding: downhill and drops.
Your thoughts on said combo: Heavy but are a nice pair for the trails I ride, seem to be a decent compromise for all types of terrain. Just don't expect to climb fast with them!

Bike: GT Avalanche
Front tyre: IRC Backcountry 2.3
Rear tyre: IRC Backcountry 2.3
Type of riding: Trail centre/xc type stuff
Your thoughts on said combo: Nice fast rolling tyres and enough grip for most conditions, although get a little skaty in mud.

bonty xr 29er front maxxis crossmark 29er rear,seemed ok in the gloop despite the 'summer' tread for everything coz i'm too lazy to swap

Front: Blue Groove
Rear: Nevegal

Good all round combination, not the best in mud but seem to do OK for other conditions and don't want to keep changing tyres.

Bike:Dialled P.A.
Front:Black,round,inflated.
Rear :Black,round,inflated.
Type of riding:Anywhere,various conditions.

I have done most of my trail riding over the last few years on Schwalbe Fat Albert 2.35s. Schwalbe have discontinued the 2.35 & replaced them with either a 2.4 or a 2.25 I believe. I read that the new version also has a poor compound. It's a shame as the Fat Albert 2.35 has been my "best ever" all round tyre. I don't change tyres for different seasons.

Im Replacing them when they wear out with Maxis Minion 2.35 DHF single ply both front and rear. They seem a great tyre.

I am a serial tyre swapper depending on bike and conditions.

My collection of tyres goes from Conti speed king supersonics to conti spike claw with detours to such things as edges, gazzalodis and wet screams along the way.

Gary Fisher 29er
Racing Ralphs F+R fat size
On bridleways and such they're great but I find the front very slippy on man made trails, but that could be a lack of confidence on my part.

Very nice downhill – love the ability to let the back end drift before pulling back. Bit draggy on the flat and uphill but who cares 🙂
