before i buy like for like should i look at any other 29er tyres.
i mainly ride hard packed with some lose smaller stones. hardly ever wet (its Cyprus)some rocks around.
i have racing ralphs 2.1 evo 3 at the mo.
i like fast rolling tubeless.
over to you......
I used WTB Bronson's for most of the summer, I think they're aimed at more mixed conditions and there's an even more specific 'dry' tyre in the range, but were great in the dry for me.
Geax Saguaro are pretty grippy but not too deep a tread
. TNT version is heavier with strong sidewalls.
Ardent?
Ardent front, crossmark rear.
Racing Ralph 2.25s are my choice for that kind of riding.
Conti X-king
I've just fitted some Bonty 29-3's and I'm very impressed
Black chilli Rubber Queens, great grippy tyre in dry on rocks i find only let down in mud
So many choices...
I like 29-3s but currently have Spesh Purgatorys to give more bite in UK mud and will likely leave them on to deal with the thicker layer if loose pebbles we get round our way in the Spring & Summer.
Racing Ralph 2.25s are my choice for that kind of riding.

This looks the business!
Thunder Burt Evo TLR 29 x 2,10" folding

What do you think?
Admittedly the 26" version (but I'd imagine, 29" is the same), but swapped to Maxxis Cross Mark yesterday (front and rear) and they're brilliant. Really really great. When the front does break away, it's predictable and slow understeer and the back stays glued. When it gets very firm, the rolling resistance (lack of it) is again brilliant.
I was running tubed at 35-40psi. I think I'll try a little softer at the front tomorrow.
My riding is in THailand. I'd imaging, pretty similar to yours. Hard, dusty... When it hits rainy season, I think I'll need something different.

Any of the above, but I'd definitely go with a wider tyre - 2.25.
