On Flow rims

Hans Dampfs are pretty good by all accounts. On-One Chunky Monkey for super grippy cheapness, bit draggy though. Work well tubeless.

Conti Verts

Where, and what kinda riding?

Looking also need to be good in dry weather & handle fairly rocky granite terrain – 2.25 + maximum traction please.

The Maxxis High Roller 2 in the single ply 3C/EXO format is simply amazing as a front tyre. More grip than the standard High Roller or Minion DHF, better in wet conditions and the long side knobs really do bite brilliantly. I wouldn’t run it as a rear tyre, though. If I need lots of grip then this is my go to tyre unless the track is really muddy, and wild enough to deserve a spike, like a Wetscream.

The hotest is probably the vulcanisation process 😉

Depends what you want it to do. Conti Baron still in a field of one when it comes to big non-spike mud tyres, frinstance. Specialied Butcher probably the king of the things-that-are-like-a-Minion.

Michelin Wild Rock’r.

Conti Barons Black Chilli – very fast for such a big tyre but expensive…my mate has the Hans Dampf and they seem very similar but his defo drag more!

My Whyte 29er came with a Maxxis Ardent on the front, I was going to change it but after a couple of rides Im leaving it on. Up to now its probably the best tyre I’ve ridden.

Racing Ralph TLR pacestar evos on my bike are pretty cool
