Anyone use these tyres? Used the 2.2" for years and found them a good all rounder.

Also, anyone know where i can buy them online? A quick google doesnt bring anything up.

got some on a cotic soul running them tubeless and they are massive compared to a 22 nice and floaty ride but not as good as 2.2s in mud, stil roll fast in the dry though and still not heavy just watch the sidewalls in rocky stuff same as any light/big tyre

I have some and they're similar, a good all round tyre but they drag a bit more on the flat and ups but, probably as you'd expect, floatier down hill.

I have a pair of very good condition used 2.35 tubeless ready ones you can have for a good price if you want to try them cheaply. They're a tight fit on the rim being tubeless ready, which is why I've stopped using them. Email in profile

I'm the same as mtbtomo as I use one up front but with a tube in - can't be ar$ed with this tubeless malarkey. I find the large volume tyre footprint upfront gives me confidence & they are great in most conditions.

I have a brand new never been used Bonti Jones ACX 26 x 2.35 for sale £15 posted if anyone is interested email in profile.

Excellent tyres, massive in comparison with the 2.2" version (which is more like most 2.1" tyres anyway), certainly way bigger than a 2.35" Maxxis High Roller.

They're light, they're pretty grippy, they're very predictable when they do slide, and they don't roll too badly (for their size and aggressive tread pattern) and they seem to last ok too.

Don't have any personal experience of the new XR4's yet, but they look like it could be more of the same only better (and pricier!)...

I used the 2.2 Tubeless (inner tubes are soooo last decade!).
A cracking tyre, sadly no longer made.
