Having built up and old frame as a SS bike, I was going to go with old shed tyres. However after reading a few threads on here, it seems that rear grip is a must.

So I was going with a Panaracer Fire XC pro rear, & N Nic / Maxxis advantage front for dry/loamy parts of the year, then Bonty Mud X or winter.

However, some might say Bonty mud X on the rear is an all year round function for SS?

In which case shall I just leave Mud X’s on both ends all year?

Thoughts / advice on SS tyre setup please?

Whatever you get on with normally.

Or try it and see instead of overthinking it?

I don’t see a benefit to mud tyres when it’s not muddy.

+1

Ok, so just as a normal MTB, and no specific setup for SS?

i just used the same tyres as i would on my geared mountainbike, some of which were in the shed

rear grip is a must.

nonsense, imo, i use a vulpine when it’s dry and it’s fine. any tyres will do.

Yeah no different to geared if suspension fork, most prefer a bigger volume tyre than normal on the front if running rigid is all.

Excellent, I can use the shed tyres and save some cash, thanks all.

Christ! If you have a large stock of shed tyres just see which set/combo works best for you. Stop trying to spend more than you need to. 🙄
