What would you recomend for a general good all weather trail tyre which will only be used at trail centres
Troll...or dense?
Conti GP 4000 23mm in yellow!
cheap, budget,sale,2nd hand off here 😉
Slicks.
on a serious note..............
Take a leaf out of BMX, the tracks are made form the same stuff.
I usualy go for a high roller 2.35 SPC kevlar up-front and high roller semi slick 2.35 SPC steel rear.
Unless it's particulalry rocky, in which case a holly roller 2.4 which is a thicker casing.
Maxxis Crossmark
They make trail centres out of 4130 cromo?
Wow!!
In fact forget about slicks, just ride on the rims.
Michelin Alpins for this time of year.
Crossmark back and Ardent front
Thatnks to those with the usefull info 😕
The rest of you with the usless posts get a life ave you nothing better to do ❓
Panaracer fire XC pros. My choice for years.
Never ridden one, but I got the impression that trail centres managed so that the terrain shouldnt get horrendously muddy. Therefore a good all-purpose tyre would do the job, e.g. Maxxis High-Roller (or other medium-tread Maxxis), Kenda Nevegal or Schwalbe Nobby Nic.
You dont know what tyres you want and ask us for advice - what next do you wnat me to pick your shoes for you?
All tyres will work to some degree what do you prefer fast, grippy, sticky etc you decide.
These are largely personal choices. hence the pi55 taking
Pretty much anything reaonable.
LOL @ sense of humour failure.

What handle bar grips are best for trail centre use?
Blimey, no wonder this place has the reputation it does.. give the guy a break perhaps?
He's only asking a question about tyres, on a bike forum... madness aint it?
🙄
It helps if you're less specific,more vague and give fewer details.AKA "What would you recomend for a general all round bike which will only be used for biking and is good".
Or...ask a poorly thought out and badly phrased question and you get what you deserve.
..Or perhaps he knows not as much about tyres as some people, hence not knowing where to start?
Point n Chute - even mentions in the review they're good on hardpack man made stuff http://j.mp/cHQGmu
Very poor response from some people on this thread!
Never understood what some peoples problem is with trail centree, they are a lot of fun in my opinion!
Assuming that most trail centres are generally mud free and rocky i would look at something fast rolling with good volume. 2.35 maxxis High Rollers? at the front, somehting like a Small Block-8 out back perhaps?
Pretty much any tyre will be fine at a trail centre - they don't get muddy so it's just a question of what combo of width/grip/drag you want.
I'm happy enough with my conti verts but I've also found Nevegal/Blue groove to be a good combo.
2.25 racing ralps....job done.

Don't you just want the pins that slot into the track?!
If you can afford the mortgage to pay for the dam things!
I like High Rollers myself, or a Kenda Nevegal.. but a small block 8 can work well on the back in the dry...
pretty much anything that's 26" or 29" (depending on your choice of bike), and over, say, 1.8" wide. I use Nevegals on everything.
Thanks for the good tips from some of you guys. The top of my list was High rollers before posting but i might give the point and shot a try.... you know be a little different.
The post was left a little vague on purpose to see what muppets would also post stupid waste of time comments, which are normally posted by back seat riders, How's the saying go......all the Kit still ****.
Love to all x
The new Panaracer CG looks as though it would be good at a trail centre.

1. post question which comes up at least 3 times a week
2. get stupid responses
3. pretend to be trolling with a purposely 'vague question'
4. ???
5. profit

I love riding in the back seat me.
You might have touched a nerve there with some people sticky LOL. If you can get some old Specialized fast track pro kevlar tyres they are not too bad, fast, reasonably grippy and cheap!
Can't believe no one has said "Conti Vert Pros" yet!
They might actually be quite good now they're available in the Black Chili compound.

Clubber did ^, however I bought some tyres on his recommendation once, I nearly died.
Be warned.
Clubber did ^
Yeah but he didn't say it the way it used to be said! ;o)
Seriously though, I particularly like WTB Weirwolf Races and (Black Chili flavour) Conti Mountain Kings for trail centres.

Ridden with to many riders on verts that have had to pay silly money for spare tubes. 4 spares they had all used up..... i made a nice bit of cash though.

trail centres DO get muddy, they also vary in degrees of hardness.
Also, depends on how well you know 'that' trail centre is how difficult it is. Glentress for instance to most people is known as a 'scaletrix' track, but if you know it well enough you can actually ride alot of
trails not known to the masses therefore requiring more specific tyres.
for instance, if i was to stick to the red trail i'd porb stick to fast rolling, low grip tyres like racing ralphs, nobby nics or panaracer fire or cinders, prob sticking a slightly grippier tyre on the front with both tyres prob a 2.1, or 2.25 max.
Now if i was to do the black or alot of the 'hidden' trails it'd keep a fast rolling rear tyre on like a saguaro geax or nevegal on with a grippier tyre up front, poss a high roller (its what i like) and prob in 2.25 - 2.35 size, tyres with bigger volume and better puncture protection.
Hope this helps better.
Oh, stay clear of conti vert pro's if you value your life
Those CGs look heavy though?

You SOLD spare tubes to people on the side of the trail with a puncture?
Nice 🙄
Bad workman/tools kingtut 😉
I have gone back to cinders, they are serving me well so far this winter...
