Looking ahead to winter tyre choices. I've ran Conti Slash rear and Vertical front for last few years, but want a bit more grip, especially on the front. Its a yeti 575 mainly for trail/xc use. I did briefly think of High rollers, but i'm not sure. I do like the 2.3 size of the conti's.
Cheers 😀
Nobby nicks on the front work realy well for me as a summer tyre
for the winter I am back to a Kenda Blue Groove much much better than a vertical for my riding style (or lack of it)
Cheers, didn't think about the Kendas. Should have mentioned they'll running Stans notubes
sorry not a clue I have never been tubeless

Are you serious? As a winter tyre? Where do you spend your winter, the slick rock of Moab???
Greased up inner tubes are grippier than Verts. Can't go wrong with HRs IMNSHO.
HR's are a great all year round tyre. Come up a little on the small side but I'd go for a 2.35 up front and a 2.1 at the back both in 62a, single play, kevlar.

Conti 4 season as I don't ride in the mud! I'll only ride MTB in the winter when it freezes up, then my summer tyres get the job done!
Bontrager Mud-X, bit smaller than Vert, but very good on winter trails and can usually be picked up quite cheaply too.
Which of the high rollers? 42 or 60? Will check out the bontys too
I have just switched (well, in the last 6 months) from Nokian NBX 2.3 jobs to Halo Choir Masters also of 2.3 flavour. Both UST, and whilst I loved the NBX I have been finding the Halo just that bit more inspiring.
These are also on a Yeti 575, and seem to be suiting the Lakes rather well!
