Hi,

Just about to purchase a pair of 1.8's but not sure if they are a bit ott mud specific, as i'm not plkanning on riding through a constant stream of the the stuff...

The 1.8's are presumably better at cutting into mud to find grip and have the ARC casing - but would the 2.0's have more grip over roots, rocks and anywhere not so muddy?

Thanks

I have a 2.0" and 1.8" - I wish I'd got both as 2.0". The 1.8" are very low volume so lacking in cushioning when you hit rocks/roots/etc. So far I've managed to stick with my big non-mud tyres this autumn/winter but I very much enjoyed the Mud-X revelation last time round!

I've got the 2.0s on my 29er and they seem great all round tyres. Wouldn't want thinner ... Even on 29" wheels

I bought both 1.8 and 2.0 to try, I ended up buying another 2.0 as I thought the 1.8 was a little harsh.
