I’m doing the BHF Southdowns Way ride in July and thinking about a change of tyres.

I currently use tubeless Specialized Ground Control 2.3 and would like something a little faster rolling but still with decent grip for descents so looking at Specialized Ground Control 2Bliss 27.5s.

Any thoughts on these tyres please? Or other alternatives that would suit the SDW ride well?

Thanks.

Barzo TNT.  Fast grippy and tough sidewalls.

If there's a Specialized Captain in the size you want, they're fantastic. But sadly discontinued in favour of less good tyres like the bloody pointless purgatory

Semislick might work for you- equally might not, I like em but the way they grip and don't grip is a matter of taste
