Gordymac
Panaracer Fire XC Pro on the mtb and Panaracer something or other on the road bike. I've got to be honest and say I don't pay much attention to them, maybe I'm not gnarly enough 🙂
Mud x's front and rear (tubeless)
Nobby nics all year
michelin comp 16 front
tioga dh 2.3 from about 2003 rear
Conti gatorskin 23s on road bike
high roller 60a 2.35 front
maxxis crossmark exception series 2.1 rear with a freeride tube cos i is fat!
ADvantage 2.1 on both bikes, 62a kevlar on Front, 70a wire on the back
All year but with lower pressures in winter for more grip. But I'm thinking hard about some 2.1 trailwreckers after sliding/crashing around a lot today.
2.2" Rubber Queens still. Managing far better than expected tbh. Was going to swap them if they were crap, but not had to yet.
29er Just put a Nevegal on the front, 2.1 Crossmark on the back.
FS Blue Groove on the front and Spesh Captain on the back.
29 x 2 Mud X (with tubes) F+R .. quite good on all conditions, inc snow and ice (maybe coz of softer compound) pretty much handle just as well as my old 700 x 35 winter marathon spikes on the old hybrid in that respect.
Hoping to keep them on for a loooong time and run with barely-there tread during spring and summer, with careful swapping of F+R for even wear.
Specialized captain 2.0 on the rear with purgatory 2.2 up front, running tubeless. Seem to be a fine year round combo for me so far, although there is next to no clearance with the purgatory in a rs reba, so peak mud may force a change to something smaller at some point.
Geax barromountain cos they came on the bike when I bought them
gatorskins on the commuter and michelin lithions on the best bike
29er : Crossmark 2.1 front and rear
Not riding much else
HT and FS both
Kenda blue groove front and Nevegal rear both 2.35 and DTC.
Hope to leave them on but may change HT to Bonty muds or just run Nev backwards for more traction.
XC - Mud X / Mud X
DH - Minion DHR 2.5 / Intense Intruder FRO 2.7
Commute - Continental slicks
Just recently swapped crossmarks for the Mud X's and so far performing beyond expectations in the snow (last wk) and slush/mud (now). V grippy and surprisingly fast rolling.
Panaracer Rampage 2,35", ghetto tubeless front and rear (29" and 26").
Dirty Dans just been put on. They took an age to seal for tubeless running (2010 version not TR 2011's).
Verti Pro's 2.3 in Winter.
Maxxis Larssen TT in Summer.
Blue Groove and Nevegal. I need to replace 'em I'm thinking Maxxis High Rollers or same again.
