We've got loads of Nate's in stock and if you want the best soft conditions tyre ever then that's the one to go for.

Even a Larry would be an improvement on the Endomorph. You might pick one of those up 2nd hand.Are the Floaters now available?

I've got a used Larry with loads of life left in it... I expect postage would be a killer unless you were able to collect!

Floaters are great tires, especially at 1/2 the price of the Surly ones. They won't be as aggressive as the Nate, but will roll better.

Seconded, a great XC tyre, but if you are going to ride on beaches forget them as they hold the sand, for beaches you need Larry's

Bud and Lou make Nate look like semi slicks

Nate is absolutely brilliant in soft stuff. Can feel like dragging sandbags on long hardpack climbs though. ๐Ÿ™‚

Yeah - the longest day ride I've managed on Nates has been only 50 miles.
