    on a serious note…………..

    Take a leaf out of BMX, the tracks are made form the same stuff.

    I usualy go for a high roller 2.35 SPC kevlar up-front and high roller semi slick 2.35 SPC steel rear.

    Unless it's particulalry rocky, in which case a holly roller 2.4 which is a thicker casing.

    Panaracer fire XC pros. My choice for years.

    Never ridden one, but I got the impression that trail centres managed so that the terrain shouldnt get horrendously muddy. Therefore a good all-purpose tyre would do the job, e.g. Maxxis High-Roller (or other medium-tread Maxxis), Kenda Nevegal or Schwalbe Nobby Nic.

    You dont know what tyres you want and ask us for advice – what next do you wnat me to pick your shoes for you?
    All tyres will work to some degree what do you prefer fast, grippy, sticky etc you decide.

    These are largely personal choices. hence the pi55 taking

    What handle bar grips are best for trail centre use?

    Blimey, no wonder this place has the reputation it does.. give the guy a break perhaps?

    He's only asking a question about tyres, on a bike forum… madness aint it?

    It helps if you're less specific,more vague and give fewer details.AKA "What would you recomend for a general all round bike which will only be used for biking and is good".
    Or…ask a poorly thought out and badly phrased question and you get what you deserve.

    ..Or perhaps he knows not as much about tyres as some people, hence not knowing where to start?

    Very poor response from some people on this thread!

    Never understood what some peoples problem is with trail centree, they are a lot of fun in my opinion!

    Assuming that most trail centres are generally mud free and rocky i would look at something fast rolling with good volume. 2.35 maxxis High Rollers? at the front, somehting like a Small Block-8 out back perhaps?

    Pretty much any tyre will be fine at a trail centre – they don't get muddy so it's just a question of what combo of width/grip/drag you want.

    I'm happy enough with my conti verts but I've also found Nevegal/Blue groove to be a good combo.

    I like High Rollers myself, or a Kenda Nevegal.. but a small block 8 can work well on the back in the dry…

    pretty much anything that's 26" or 29" (depending on your choice of bike), and over, say, 1.8" wide. I use Nevegals on everything.

    Thanks for the good tips from some of you guys. The top of my list was High rollers before posting but i might give the point and shot a try…. you know be a little different.

    The post was left a little vague on purpose to see what muppets would also post stupid waste of time comments, which are normally posted by back seat riders, How's the saying go……all the Kit still ****.

    The new Panaracer CG looks as though it would be good at a trail centre.

    You might have touched a nerve there with some people sticky LOL. If you can get some old Specialized fast track pro kevlar tyres they are not too bad, fast, reasonably grippy and cheap!

    Can't believe no one has said "Conti Vert Pros" yet!
    They might actually be quite good now they're available in the Black Chili compound.

    Clubber did ^, however I bought some tyres on his recommendation once, I nearly died.

    Be warned.

    Yeah but he didn't say it the way it used to be said! ;o)

    Seriously though, I particularly like WTB Weirwolf Races and (Black Chili flavour) Conti Mountain Kings for trail centres.

    Ridden with to many riders on verts that have had to pay silly money for spare tubes. 4 spares they had all used up….. i made a nice bit of cash though.
