dont start on about brands but will you be going larger for winter or the same or maybee even slimmer?
tell all….

this is in the view of "average" xc and trail riding

To be honest a lot of the stuff i ride is all weather (lakes, wales etc) so i tend to stick to what i have all year which is 2.4 MK's or RQ 2.4's, should probably get some more summer'ery tyres but like to know what grip i have, instead of changing and finding out all over again?

2.0 mud tyres when my current tyres start to clog and slide too much. Following an earlier thread I may just try leaving them on when the spring comes. I may even then consider tubeless if that works out as I have access to a compressor at work.

it gets muddy round here, so thinner with widely spaced big knobs.

Summer 2.1 Nevagals, winter 2.1 Trailrakers for Surrey hills
