Do you like flatter or rounded tyres?
I’m not an aggressive rider, prefer rounded tyres with evenly spaced tread.
Bontrager XR4, Maxxis Ignitors, On One Smorgasbord.
Never had a dodgy moment with any of the above, ever.
Many people who tend to look for more edge grip and really sling the bike around seem to prefer slightly squarer tyres with bigger side knobs, like a High Roller.
They certainly feel different, to me anyway and seem to suit different types of people.
Lots of people don’t notice a difference, 50% of people will completely disagree and good riders can ride owt.

Try a few, see what you think.
Big tyres are great BTW – the increase in grip and comfort of a modern 2.3 tyre over low volume, snakebitey race treads is most welcome.
