Hi All

Looking for a recommendation for the tyres for this winter.

Will mainly be running SS on south downs, so looking for a bit of an all rounder winter tyre ie mud, chalk, flint etc.

Mucho ta

I’ve found mud x very good for the winter on the South Downs. I commute off road and they have coped well with thick mud, thin mud, somewhere in the middle mud as well as flints and wet chalk. I leave them on my rigid bike all year round.

yep mud x for me also. I tried trailrakers, but they were too draggy and crap on anything except thick mud. On the rear they allow you to climb things that you can’t with just about any other tyre, but that is about it as far as redeeming features go.

Mind you, any tyre will struggle up Windover Hill in wet flinty semi frozen chalky mud, like soggy pizza dough 🙂

or the Friston Forest mudfest !

A couple of weeks ago I made a comment about averaging one or two punctures a year and I then had 3 in 4 days.

5 hours ago I made a comment about mud x coping well with wet chalk.
2 hours ago I rode home on the wet chalk – do I need to continue?

4 punctures in 2 days is my record, no luckier with tubeless.
