I'm after some light tyres to run diy tubeless with sealant on stans 355's, I've currently got some 2.1 kenda karmas (550g)but want something lighter for summer races including the polaris, mountain mayhem (weather depending) etc and was thinking along the lines of maxxis maxlite,swalbe furious fred, rocket ron or kenda kilmax lite.
I need something fast rolling as often some races invloved road work, but retaining some grip. I don't tend to damage the side walls, but paper thin ones might be too much.
Any suggestions/ comments?
I quite like my Geax Saguaro UST, fast rolling and good in dry conditions.
The Ralph is still a contender, I think now designed to sit between Fred and Ron.
IIRC the fred and ron both use a really light-weight carcass that is pretty fragile. The Ralph and the Nic are that bit more sturdy.
I've been told that freds are pretty useless on the front but Mr Budd from round here seems to like them....
After a few mishaps in past years, I'm nervous about swapping tubless tyres just before racing. I use two wheels-sets with ralphs an nics on and just match my wheels to the conditions.
My bet is mud tyres for MM24.....
Has anyone tried the maxlites? at a claimed 290g they seem pretty light
Spesh Fast trak LK are very fast, grippy enough and "2bliss" so work well with sealant. Also only about £22 for the S-works.
Are these about 550g? Was hoping to trim some more weight off the wheels but without getting too silly
Continental Race King Supersonic, best tire I have ever used.
