Just got my new bike a Trek X caliber 9 and it’s come with Bontrager Xr3 comp wire bead jobs with tubes.
Converting to tubeless so need some fast rolling tyres for Canal paths, country roads and farm tracks and very light mud over gravel.

Thinking maybe Maxxis Ardent front and Rear
Continental Trail King or Mountain King front and Cross King Rear
I have run Racing Ray and Ralph previously but tubed and it was a puncture every 3-5 rides so I’m a little cautious about that combination.

I’ve just recently swapped from minion dhf & dhr2 to ardent 2.4 front and ardent race 2.2 on the rear after accepting that I’m not a gnarly enduro rider. Don’t know if it’s all in the mind but immediately felt a hell of a lot easier to pedal.
