[Closed] Reasonably priced tyres aka which specialized tyre?

wiggles · 2020-06-14T20:25:19Z

So in the past my go-to tyre combo was a spesh butcher control on the front and purgatory control on the rear. My epic which is have had back off my dad has had 29 x 2.1 ground controls on it while he had it as never did much more than fire roads. I plan of using it for some trail centres and hopefully a few bigger Welsh xc routes. Now I want something a bit wider and more grippy (only about 29x 2.3 as frame doesn't have a lot of clearance) only spare tyre I have is a brand new 650x2.6 purg that obviously won't fit (need to sell that tbf) I'm a big fan of the specialized tyres but there are a few new ones the slaughter I never got around to trying and there is now the "eliminator" where does that fit in to the line up? Does it make the trails come alive? Do I go butcher F slaughter rear? Eliminator?

Dun a ride with Slaughter Grid f & r today, felt fast, lovely. Not as forgiving to lack of concentration as a Mary on the front (obviously) but plenty of fun grip for the current conditions.
