Hi
Looking for some recommendations for some tyres for my Tempest mk3.
Have acquired some Hunt 650b wheels and just need some tyres that will do the job - 75% off-road paths, bridleways etc the 25% bits in between on the road. Everywhere is muddy near me all winter so I wanted something that will deal with the mud to a degree, be good on the general off road and be manageable on the road.
WTB Resolute looks like the best bet but I would rather have something closer to 47mm as others suggest the frame will take closer to 50 on a 650b wheel.
Anything out there or should I just go with the Resolute at 42mm? Closest WTB looks like the Sendero but might be a bit too off-road reading the reviews.
Cheers
I was going to suggest Conti Terra Trail, but they only do them in 40mm. Have a look at:

See there's anything there that takes your fancy.
Following as just bought a Tempest. I'm running 700 X 45 WTB Riddler & there is plenty of clearance with them
I also have the 650 X 42 Resolutes, I've had the tyres on the rims (not inflated though) & put them on the bike. There's loads of clearance for a wider tyre.
How about the Vittoria Mezcal? they do a 2.1" 650b, and it has an almost solid centre line for road but decent knobs too.

Teravail Rutland.
Cheers all.
Think I’m still favouring the Resolute based on the reviews - hopefully they may size up big.
Sendero look good as does the Mezcal but maybe too MTB still.
I’ll keep looking for a few days first so anymore suggestions welcome
