Hi,
Please recommend 29er tyres for general mountain biking(a little bit of everything) and where to buy for best price!
Thanks.

I always find rubber ones are the bestest.

Maybe a more specific question might gain you a better answer.

I'd highly recommend Maxxis Ignitors ( the first one I owned was given to me by stu - top man! Though maybe it just wasn't niche enough for him ๐Ÿ˜‰ ). Great as an rounder.

Funny enough there's a couple of Ignitors on the back of two bikes in the garage ATM. Thought they've both got the new tougher sidewalls as the old ones don't stand up to any kind of hammering on rocky stuff.

Still glad you like it though clubber.

nobby nic 2.25 and rocket ron 2.25s are my all time fave 29er rubber at the moment. Failing that the bontrager 29-3s are bloomin ace as well (but a wee bit heavy)

Say's 3.8 on the tyre Stu. It's like having a 4 inch willy and comparing it to ron jeremy! The porn star, not the cyclist on here, before he gets to excited with my comparison.
