just to keep bristolbiker happy 😆
Anyway I was thinking quite skinny, sort of 1.7 / 1.8 that can cope with the gloop that forms the bottom of the downs.
Bonty Mud-X is the way to go (2.0 here) - they're virtually a year round tyre for the Brighton area...
Does this mean I have to get over my Trek aversion?
no, you can continue to use inappropriate rubber if you'd rather 🙂
Nothnig will stop the mud from clogging on the downs. I use 1.8 bonty MudX on rear and 2.0 on front and they cope to some degree.
Yup - Mud X are the south east saviours!

Maxxis Medusa are pretty similiar.
panaracer trail rakers work for me around Winchester, 2.1 on the back and 1.9 on the front of a ten year old hard tail...
They're not trek related are they?
Bontrager Big Earl Wets, Mud-X's (thin side walls, killed a brand new one coming down the Fint Terror) or XR4's
