i think a nate will be a bit much up front for me. quite like the look of the 45NRTH Husker Du Tyre ( not the price though)

Full fat now, but I've had a few half-fats. Raced one in the'Puffer Lite too.

Half-fat is better than pure 29er but nowhere near as good as full fat. However it's still worth doing because it improves the bike.

Definitely ditch the Endo and get a Larry. Endo is regarded as a rear tyre these days and good for flotation.

What will your username be then? ๐Ÿ™‚

I actually meant to say a veerubber devistaor is a massive fat tyre with knobs on on. A big rubber domintor is something a bit different from that other website I must have been looking at
