Why do so many people on here get all arsey over any mention of tyre choice?
Probably cos it's the most subjective component on a bike, and there are sooooo many different options on the market!
People ride differently, and have different preferences. It's MUCH easier for someone to try out several different tyres at £20-25 a pop than it is suspension forks at £300-400 a pop, or full sus frames at £1k plus. Hence people have usually got more of a subjective (not informed) opinion on what tyres work for them!
Or of course you could listen to me:
Maxxis High Rollers or Michelin Comp 16 for DH use, Bontrager ACX for general cross country, and Bontrager Mud X for winter XC… All IMHO of course, and I've tried a LOT of tyres in the past! 😉
