Sorry but having never ridden in the peaks (Ladybower area) just wondering which tyres to fight onto my rims for a weekend visit? Any suggestions please....

Big fat ones. I ride the same tyres year round in the peaks and can't say I've had any specific problems.

Any all rounder, 2.1 or bigger - but they must be skinwall.

I'm told 29" WTB Exiwolfs are PEERLESS in the Peak (and there's some FS on the classifieds! :wink:)

Big fat tough sticky round ones. Maxxis Advantage work well for me.
