I've had a pair of Continental CrossCountry 1.5s lurking in the garage for the last couple of years. Has any body got any experience of using them in clarty quagmire?
Would welcome any feedback before I fit and ride ... Mayhem gloop and plasticine beckons!

Spot on for sticky mud. Mainly because they give you massive clearance so your wheels will still turn. Grip wise they are a bit sketchy but as long as they are not too hard they are fine. However, as the volume is so small they cannot be too soft and / or ride softly to avoid pinching. I have had the misfortune to run them for 24 hours at sleepless in the past and they were turning when others were walking.

Thanks both. They're going on now and I'll have a bit of a pootle to see how they feel. With any luck I'll be taking them back off again before next weekend!!!!
