Sorry Tyres again – pls recommend me a grippier front tyre – Page 2 – Bike Forum

Hi, I have read and re-read many of the old posts about tyre choice but I'm more confused than when I started! I have nobby nic 2.25's at the moment and am finding (like others) that the front loses grip when cornering hard, especially on anything slightly loose to the point where I have fallen off the past 3 rides. Mind you that is probably mostly to do with my riding ability... I'm thinking of replacing it with: Minion 42a Bontrager mud-x or perhaps a High roller, medusa, Swampthing, Mountain King or any other of the millions of recommended tyres! I ride mostly around Brighton, South Downs, Stammer woods with occasional trips up to Surrey Hills and sometimes Wales. So lots of woodland soil, mud and roots. So with the winter fast approaching and mud and possibly snow to contend with, your advice great fully received. Thanks

Verts are great! They are 10 quid too which makes them even greater, a bona fide classic.
