Hi
I'm going to Scotland in a few weeks time to ride the trail centres, i'm looking to invest in some new tyres, i currently run Panracer Fire Pros 2.1 but would like a larger volume tyre for free riding, ideally i'd like something strong with low rolling resistance?
All suggestions welcome.
Cheers
Nick
Hi
What bike are you going to fit them to? I expect you will be recommended High Rollers 😉
Turner 5 spot
I've just bought some Ardents for a week in Scotland we've got coming up. Look pretty big and round for 2.25, low rolling resistance, lots of positive reviews. Intruiged how other people get on with them to be honest.
Hoping they fit on the Mojo, otherwise they'll live on the Meta.
I've only got good experience with high rollers and fire-xc 2.1s, both of which I'm happy with. If you have decent width rims, perhaps try to find some single ply 2.4" high rollers - I've not heard a bad work said about them!
Tyre threads are never boring. How can something which makes such a huge difference to the way a bike rides not be of perpetual interest?
run your ardents below 30 and they will be alright, better on the back than front.
7 stanes trails tear schwalbes to bits IME others seem fine though. id go for dual ply minion f on the back, single ply 40a on the front if you are just freeriding, switch to a single ply if xc ing too.

Sure it'll be all good. I like riding easy things, doubt they'll be doing much tougher than Glentress Red. My 2.4 Nobby Nics on the Meta have survived 2 years there on the trot (including all the rocks in Dalbeattie).
