Hmmm… WTB Nanoraptor on the back/Panaracer Razer on the front in the summer for me worked well last year…
surely, like the bikes themselves, there are far fewer turkeys out there nowadays? a poll for dangerous / scary tyres would be more interesting?

Mountain king on the back, Nobby Nic on the front..
“I’ve never seen or heard of anybody who actually uses WTB tyres.”
Then WTB Exi Wolfs must be a well kept secret. .
im with Eth3er, big earl wet, a great lightweight all rounder.
Riding all my life and never used any of the above. All this hype of exactly what tyre for a certain type of trail is rediculous. The nature of any trail changes enormously from section to section so a tyre specialised for slightly loose pea sized gravel in the mid-afternoon is not going to stand you in good stead for the intermediately moist rippled upperside mid-coarse grainded well sorted sandy trail. Just stick on a general tyre like a XC Pro and get on with it!
2.35 High rollers are the perfect for any condition tyres, but 2.1s are great for racing. And Maxxis LUST always seals perfectly everytime – just a pity Maxxis HQ can’t put the right ones in the right box when sending them to this country.
