Intense Edge 2.35 - widest tyres I've ever run but they haven't dumped me in the mud yet . . . well, OK so there've been a few front wheel washout incidents but that's been due to slack angles and rider error 😉 .

Maxxis High Roller 2.35" (a big 2.1") 60a folding
I wanted to keep some volume. The deep paddles make up for being too fat to cut through slop for the mostpart. Climbing traction on the ramps is fine the vast majority of the time too
I'm happy enough with them for the peak, not great on sloppy grassy stuff, but fine in the rocks (I can't seem to tell whats not good though?)
Seemed alright at Whinlatter/Lakes, though I think I might prefer Nevegals when theres not as much slop to deal with
XC HT
Bontrager Mud X 2.0" (55/62a)(folding)
The 'checked' pattern on the knobbles has just worn away, so the tread height is now more like a new ACX. Not as great as they were new/unworn but still pretty good. Suprisingly quick for a mud tyre, probably due to not running low pressures. Narrow enough to cut through slop, feel (to me) to be small but otherwise I get on with them
Can't really fault them on XC stuff, (eg Sherwood Pines)
play bike (small HT)
Maxxis Crossmark 2.1" (a decent 2.1") 70a
Block up in slop really very quickly, but they're meant to be my summer tyre for my XC Hardtail. Seem quick and grippy enough to have a muck about on BMX tracks and stuff
Big Earl 2.3 wets on my Demo, time for the Tioga Muds methinks.
Bonty Mud x 1.8's on the Blur LT.

Very Muddy.

Wetscreams rule in the mega gloop but are a nightmare everywhere else.
Advantage`s are my fave do-it-all tyre of the moment.
